Sergiu Celibidache is the symbol of the Romanian talent and strength to succeed: from Roman, Neamt, to the whole world
The Sergiu Celibidache Festival represents, from my point of view, a moral obligation of each Romanian: that of celebrating the 100 years since the birth of the Maestro, but also a moral obligation towards us as Romanians, to honor the values that our country has given to the world.
We are a country lately overwhelmed by an unfavorable image outside of the borders and we have this tendency to turn into people without national pride, without trust in ourselves, for various reasons… too many to mention here.
