Soloists will be Miruna Ionescu and Valentin Albesteanu, accompanied by the Taraful de Oras (Valentin Cucu - piano, Nicolae Petrea - double bass, Daniel Mustaţea - accordion) music band, with pianist Ramona Horvath to feature a special guest in the Paris concert.
The programme includes songs composed by Ion Vasilescu, Nicolae Kirculescu, Elly Roman, Gherase Dendrino, Grigoras Dinicu, Georges Boulanger, Fritz Kreisler.
On the same occasion, the multimedia exhibition "Maria Tanase - A Century of Happy Songs" will be inaugurated, signed by art historian Cristina Enasescu, which will bring together musical works, photographs, journal pages, posters and articles.
