The concert that Cesaria Evora was supposed to give in Bucharest on May 15 was cancelled, and organisers are considering a further date on which to reschedule the show, either October 28, or October 30. “There will be an official release after we sign the final agreement for this date,” spokespeople for organisers Trilogy Media stated yesterday, for Agerpres. Evora had to be hospitalised in Paris on Monday, because of heart problems, wordlmusiccentral.org informed. The artist’s upcoming concerts, including the one in Bucharest, were cancelled.

Romanian early and classical music, at Mogosoaia Palace


The Imago Mundi group will give, next Sunday, a concert of Romanian early and traditional music, in the Rugs’ Hall of the Mogosoaia Palace. According to organizers, the pieces in the programme thrive on the dialogue between instruments peculiar to the Romanian cultural space of Dimitrie Cantemir’s time (lute, baglama, bouzouki, darbouka, bendir) and modern classical instruments (flute, oboe, violin, guitar). The event is part of the “Music at the Brancovenian Palaces” series, organized by the Brancovenian Palaces Cultural Centre. Imago Mundi is a group that targets, in terms of its repertoire, an audience seeking alternatives to conventional music. The Imago Mundi website announces that the group will present, at Mogosoaia Palace, familiar songs, as well as a series of songs in premiere, which will constitute the starting point for the group’s next album, titled “Isvor”.
