The 3rd Media 2020 Conference will be held in Bucharest in September 2017.
adio Romania had a special gift for the participants of the 2nd Media 2020 Conference in
Beijing, China. The forum ended with a concert featuring the distinguished Romanian musical duo- Gabriel Croitoru (violinist) and Horia Mihail (pianist). The performance included music by famous European composers such as F. Kreisler, E.Elgar and Pablo de Sarasate as well as the most popular Romanian classical composer, George Enescu.
In fact, the programme was named after the music master – The Violin of George Enescu, since the virtuoso Gabriel Croitoru was playing on the violin of the great master. The duo charmed the audience with their high level of professionalism and style. The guests of the concert were reluctant to let the virtuoso musicians go so as an encore they played a popular Romanian folk song which additionally raised the temperature of a high octane performance that will remain long in the minds of those gathered in the Concert Hall of the Chinese National Radio in Beijing.
