another ‘high culture’ evening

today, after yesterday concert at the Organ Hall, I thought to check out the National Philharmonic’s programme.

I was surprised to find out that there is an International Festival taking place now. Pleasanly surprised, because I’ll gladly attend some concerts. But also surprised that I didn’t hear about it from any other sources.

I shared the information on facebook, some people were interested to attend too. Today, there was a piano recital, with a soloist from Spain, Eduardo Fernandez.

I went with a friend. Beautiful concert…a pity that there were so few people in the audience :/ either classical music is really unpopular…or maybe people are not informed (like I wasn’t before today). So, people from Chisinau, be informed :)

with more details HERE

the price is only 20 lei (1,25 EUR).

and some photos

works by Albeniz, Schumann and Rahmaninov were performed.

on one hand I felt bad that there were so few people…on the other hand, even with those few people, at times, the sounds coming from the audience were annoying… why is it so difficult to remember to mute your phone? why is it so difficult to abstain from talking/whispering? why the sound of plastic bags? i imagine, a full concert hall would’ve been unbearable :)
