Fonetic Quintet`s Activity

The story of Fonetic Quintet began in 2002, when it gave its first recital at the Sutu Palace in Bucharest, and was discovered by the author and director Petru Maier‑Bianu. From that moment, the ensemble has been performing concerts every year during the A. C. C. U. M. Foundation Concert Stage at the Sutu Palace.

In 2005, the quintet had its first challenging experience, being selected by the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to represent the country at the World Fair in AICHI – Japan. For 90 days, the quintet played at the Romanian pavilion, and the shows were directed by Dragos Galgotiu, manager of the Odeon Theater. After the extraordinary Japan experience, Fonetic Quintet was invited to a series of cultural events: Lectia Micului Meloman at Radio Romania Cultural – producer Simona Tanascu and Aventura Sunetelor at TVR Cultural – producer Dan Dediu, currently Chancellor of the National University of Music. Also, in the last two years Fonetic Quintet has been playing at the Pitesti Philharmonic. In the past, the quintet collaborated with the French Institute in Bucharest; in 2004 it made a memorable performance at the Elvira Popescu Hall. The quintet also participated to the Paul Hindemith competition, organized by the Goethe Institute in Bucharest, where it won the jury prize.

In March 2012, Fonetic Quintet was invited to play at the Romanian Embassy in Paris, with the occasion of the acceptance of the Sculptural Ensemble of Constantin Brancusi at Targu Jiu in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Several personalities such as Alain Sedan, director of the Pompidou Center, attended this event.

Fonetic Quintet is currently involved in a project called Spune DA Muzicii Clasice (Say YES to Classical Music) – a campaign promoting classical music in Bucharest schools, in partnership with ARCUB. The project organizes educational concerts, including the musical story Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev.
