On Wednesday, 12^th October 2011, the Radio Concert Hall welcomes this season debut. Under the baton of conductor Gian Luigi Zampieri and alongside cellists Răzvan Suma and Filip Papa, the Chamber Radio Orchestra has arranged an exceptional concert for this beginning of autumn.

The evening's programme includes: Non Nobis Domine, the portrait of Jacques de Molay by Gian Luigi Zampieri, George Frideric Handel's Concerto in C major for 2 Cellos, Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 Cellos in G minor and Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 11 by Felix Mendelssohn.

Conductor Luigi Zampieri

Descendant of the Italian conducting school, Gian Luigi Zampieri was the last student of famous conductor Franco Ferrara, who unquestionably left his mark on the young student's personality. He perfected his orchestral conducting skills with Francesco de Massi, Carlo Maria Giulini, Gennady Rozhdestvensky and Leonard Bernstein. Soon after completing his studies, Gian Luigi Zampieri launched his international career by receiving various invitations to perform alongside the Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra, the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra of Bucharest, the Romanian Radio Chamber Orchestra, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra, the Basque National Orchestra, the National Autonomous University of Mexico's Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Albania, the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano and Trento, the Orchestra of the Verona Arena Festival, the Roma Opera House, as well as the orchestras of Abruzzo, Naples, Padua, Sanremo, Verona and many others.

Cellist Răzvan Suma...

'... he fascinated the audience by virtue of his talent, sensitivity and intelligence'. This is how the renowned German magazine Das Orchester described the imposing presence of the young Romanian cellist, a great musical talent. Through the repertoire that he performed in more than five hundred recitals and concerts on his tours around Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia, Răzvan Suma has shown a great sensitivity, musical intuition and high technique in delivering the stylistic features of each opus. Răzvan Suma is the concert soloist of the Radio Orchestras.

Cellist Filip Papa

His declared passion puts cellist Filip Papa in the spotlight once again. This is his first collaboration with the Radio Chamber Orchestra and cellist Răzvan Suma, after he was seen performing on the stage of the Radio Concert Hall together with cellist Alexandru Tomescu and the National Radio Orchestra. With a vast experience as an instrumentalist, member of the Ad libitum Quartet of Iaşi, soloist and instrumentalist in the Moldova Philharmonic Orchestra of Iaşi (1998-2008), cellist Filip Papa has held numerous concerts as a soloist, across the country (Timişoara, Iaşi, Cluj-Napoca, Piatra Neamţ and others) as well as abroad (Switzerland and Germany).
