About this event
The Enescu Competition opens much of its working life to the public at no charge. Conducting masterclasses with Cristian Măcelaru run at the Radio Hall, composition sessions at the National University of Music, and the cello, violin and piano preliminaries fill the George Enescu Hall through to mid-September. The opening sessions of each semifinal, at the Atheneum, are also free.
Why we picked it
Rare free access to a major international competition across four weeks, including sessions inside the Romanian Atheneum.
Free entry
Free admission to masterclasses, preliminary rounds and the opening portion of each semifinal. Finals and gala concerts are ticketed.
