The National Symphony Orchestra of Romania, led by conductor Cristian Măcelaru, on their first-ever U.S. tour, January 2019. The tour will honor the 100th anniversary of the Great Unification. The Great Unification in 1918 resulted in all the historical provinces inhabited by Romanians to get together, within one single country, Romania. The orchestra performed 5 concerts with young Romanian cellist Andrei Ioniță, winner of the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition, and 2 concerts in New York with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

“We love the spirit and dedication
with which they play, these musicians represent Romania
with unbelievable dignity, style, elegance and soul.”
– Wynton Marsalis
