    Hi, Teresa -

    The poster is likely an advertisement for the upcoming 19th biennieal George Enescu International Festival and Competition, scheduled for August 30 - September 26, 2009, will pay special tribute to Romania’s most famous composer/musician on the 128th anniversary of his birth, in 1881.

    Some of the world’s most famous orchestras, chamber ensembles and opera companies will perform – some premiering new works - and juried competitions will be held for piano, violin and voice.

    “George Enescu was one of the most prodigiously gifted musicians of the twentieth century” according to noted biographer Paul Banks, “a great violinist and composer, a distinguished conductor, an accomplished pianist, able cellist and a famous violin teacher who numbered Christian Ferras, Arthur Grumiaux and Yehudi Menuhin among his pupils. His musical memory was phenomenal, a fact that contributed to the loss of some of his own works which he composed but never wrote down.”

    Looks like you will just miss it!
