Aud Band & Grigore Riciu

We present a selection of original works by Laurențiu Gondiu and we travel back in time towards the preclassical. The concert also includes well-known pop songs performed with the classical approach. An original repertoire of our own compositions and arrangements will transport us where we feel best at home, in harmony with ourselves and nature. Artists: Laurentiu Gondiu: compositions (piano, guitar) Is an award-winning composer Author of vocal-symphonic and chamber music, as well as of music for theatre, TV and film. Laurentiu Gondiu focuses on developing the orchestral technology, but especially on approaching different aesthetics for each work. Being nurtured under the influence of several musical cultures, the composer Laurentiu Gondiu is a representative exponent of modern musical inter-cultural, synthesis of the multiple sound identities in his compositional writings. Collaboration: National Philharmonic Orchestra of the Republic of Moldova, conductors Valentin Doni and Mihail Agafita Symphony Orchestra of Broadcasting, (Chisinau) conductor Gheorghe Mustea National Opera House Orchestra, (Chisinau) conductor Mihail Sechikin Oltenia Filarmonic Orchestra (Craiova, Romania) conductor Valentin Doni ‘’Romania Brass’’(Romania) - ensemble directed by Adrian Petrecsu ‘’Traffic string’’ Ateneu (Romania) – ensemble directed by Lucian Moraru ‘’Traiect’’ (Romania) – ensemble directed by Sorin Lerescu State Chamber Orchestra of the Organ Hall (Chisinau) conductor Valentin Doni Rodica Gondiu (esraj, voice) Esraj - is an unique Indian instrument with possibilities of fine nuance - combines modern effects with that characteristic of oriental music. She adapted this exotic instrument as an interpretation technique in stylistic fusions: jazz, acoustic rock, classic-modern and implemented in theatre and film music. She had his first concerts in London in 2011 as part of a European international project "Ocarina", carried out in 5 countries. The Esraj aroused the public's interest at her performance at various cultural events both in Europe and in China. Rodica is the wonderful voice in the background, each time creating a different story, a different original approach to the musical twist and increasing its value by enriching the voice with the sound of the Esraj, a unique Indian instrument that adds an extra mystery to the band.
