The performance will take place on 17 October, from 5 pm, in the Reduta Hall of the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania in Cluj-Napoca and is part of the "Open Air Piano Magic" project, which is now in its third edition.
The programme includes works by composers J. S. Bach, D. Scarlatti, W. A. Mozart, F. Schubert and F. Chopin.
We initiated this project out of a desire to promote classical music to the general public in the post-pandemic period. Thus, we organised a series of concerts at the Fortified Churches in the Brasov area, but also in public squares or at the Bastion of the Weavers in the city. Bearing in mind the crisis in Romanian education and, especially, the growing lack of artistic education, the summer school in Cumpătu has set itself the goal of organising instrumental master classes for piano and other instruments, with the intention of offering talented young Romanians the chance to collaborate with leading artists/teachers in the country and abroad. (Paul Mustață, director of the Cumpătu Summer School Association).
In parallel with the activity of the Summer School in Cumpătu, Paul Mustață is a piano and music education teacher and has collaborated with the Little London School in Bucharest and the Prems School in Brasov. In more than ten years of activity, Paul Mustață has also collaborated with renowned artists such as DAN GRIGORE, MARIETTA ORLOV (Toronto Conservatory), EDUARD KUNZ and CADMIEL BOTAC.
Among his most important artistic projects are: the Atelier BACH cycles organised in collaboration with the Romanian Order of Architects, as well as the Open Air Piano Magic project (2022 and 2023), respectively a series of LIVE recitals at the fortified churches in the Brasov area (Cristian, Prejmer, Harman, Sânpetru and Ghimbav) with his most talented students: Ania Ziemba and Victor Gozob.
