Friday, October 11th, at the Romanian Athenaeum, "Musica Ricercata or 11 Surprising Musical Stories", the first book written by Gabriel Bebeșelea will be launched. The book is published by Humanitas and as speakers at the event, Gabriel Bebeșelea is joined by Vlad Zografi and Gabriel Liiceanu.
Musica ricercata, Ligeti's piano work, synthesizes and unites different styles, serving as a kind of concentrated history of music—a guiding principle that inspired Gabriel Bebeșelea in founding an ensemble, creating a festival and writing a book with the same title. By researching original scores and archival documents, he reveals a network of connections between musicians born in today's Romania (Bartók, Ligeti, Bergel) or having ties to it (Liszt, Brahms, Joachim) and passionately and meticulously demonstrates that it is a huge mistake to ignore Enescu's unpublished compositions.
The launch of "Musica Ricercata or 11 Surprising Musical Stories" fits perfectly with the Gabriel Bebeselea led concerts with the "George Enescu" Philharmonic Orchestra that take place on the 10th and 11th of October at the Romanian Athenaeum, that will feature Enescu´s "Pastorale-Fantaisie", Chopin´s Piano Concerto No. 1, Paul Dukas´"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "The Poem of Ecstasy" (Le Poème de l'extase), by Alexander Scriabin. Soloist for these evenings is Bruce Liu, winner of the 18th Chopin International Piano Competition.
Gabriel Bebeselea leads the Romanian Chamber Orchestra on the 17th of August at the Chorin Abbey in the frames of the Choriner Musiksommer in a programme presenting "Molto Vivace" from Ligeti’s “Concert Romanesc” and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”. The programme is filled out by cellist Bryan Cheng, who is joining them to perform Dvorak’s Cello Concerto.
Two days later, on the 19th of August, Gabriel Bebeselea and the Romanian Chamber Orchestra perform at the Concertebouw Amsterdam having Simon Trpceski as soloist in Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.2, alongside Ligeti and Dvorak's Symphony No. 9.
Long-time Mahler champion Gabriel Bebeșelea leads the "Transylvania" State Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra and the Junior VIP Children’s Choir in a performance of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3 on the 23rd of February, Mezzo Liza Kadelnik takes center stage as soloist in Mahler’s vast tribute to nature and love.
