Conservation Carpathia Foundation and cellist Radu Croitoru bring music and stories of the people from the communities of the Fagaras Mountains together in a unique journey.
From 21 to 24 October, the cello will be heard in Nucșoara, Sătic, Rucăr, Avrig and Făgăraș, in non-conventional spaces, but also in the workshops of local producers and craftsmen, as part of the project “Vlogoncello in the Făgăraș Mountains”.
Radu Croitoru is a travelling musician, a young cellist born in Chisinau. A graduate of the National University of Music in Bucharest, Radu Croitoru has performed solo and chamber music recitals in the country and abroad. He is currently a member of the Brasov Philharmonic and founder of the VlogONcello media project.
Accompanied by his cello, Radu begins a new journey at the foot of the Făgăraș Mountains, in search of people, crafts and lesser known places.
Through “VlogONcello in the Făgăraș Mountains”, Radu Croitoru, supported by the Conservation Carpathia Foundation, aims to play for people, to create unexpected moments in their lives, to offer the craft and sound of the cello in exchange for a local craft, thus sharing the joy of making music with local people.
Watch the VlogONCello recitals in the Făgăraș Mountains!
