On Tuesday, 13th of July 2010, 6 o’clock, by the ‘Mr.Gh..Pastia’ Popular Athenaeum’s initiative and the goodwill of the Foreign Languages Center, there has been held a special artistic event which fitted perfectly in the cultural life of the city even though this is the holiday season.
The chosen place and the audience allowed commemorating the composer and pianist, Robert Schumann, one of the leaders of the German romanticism of the nineteenth century’s beginning.
The project, started this year, on July, by the ‘Mr.Gh.Pastia’ Popular Athenaeum, is called ‘The Ages of music’- auditions and presentations and aims to meet weekly with those interested in good music.
The first part of the project marked Schumann’s personality, whose birth we celebrate this year 200 years from.
Schumann, the composer and his work were marked by auditions and presentations of several voice clips and piano interpretations of great exception. Thus, the public has experienced special moments hearing and seeing the great pianist Vladimir Horowitz, Ukrainian-born American musician, Helen Grimaud – piano and Thomas Quasthoff - baritone.
It was, therefore, an hour and a half of music and information about the life and the artistic work of Robert Schumann, while the public – adults and youth, could find out what an artistic work and a lied means.

So, every Tuesday in July, we are welcoming everyone who is interested in classical music, at the same hour – 6 o’clock - in the same warm and welcoming place, the Foreign Languages Center.
