The Romanian
Orchestra of Engineers is on tour in the United States during April 2005,
including this performance at Stevens and on the following Sunday, April
10, at the Cathedral
Basilica in Newark, N.J. Each generation of engineering musicians
continues the 50-year tradition of dual advanced studies of music and
engineering. This tour will include works by Michael Haydn, Handel, Mozart
and Iosif Ivanovici.
The Conductors:
Maestro Petru Ghenghea, an electromechanical engineer and graduate
of the Royal Music Academy in Bucharest, first gathered prominent scientists
and teachers in 1956 to form this orchestra under the auspices of the
Bucharest Institute of Railroad Engineering. Conductor Andrei Iliescu,
a computer science engineer, graduate of the Bucharest Polytechnic Institute,
alum of Bucharest National Academy of Music, is long time member and current
conductor of the orchestra.
