When he was only 17 years old, in 1930, the young piano man, conductor and composer CONSTANTIN SILVESTRI was leading for the first time the newly founded Radio Orchestra, conducting his own work: Preludiu și fugă (Toccata). Five years later, Silvestri received the Composition Prize "George Enescu" and became the music director of the Opera from Bucharest. His extraordinary career encompasses, also, the Romanian premiere of the Enescu's Opera "Oedip", which was conducted by Slvestri. At the end of the 50's, he emigrated to Great Britain where he continued to have, until his sudden death, a beautiful international career.

The work "Trei piese pentru orchestră de coarde" by Constantin Silvestri will open the concert of the Radio Chamber Orchestra, presented LIVE, at the Radio Hall, on Wednesday , 7^th of April (at 7 o'clock p.m.).
