Established in 2015 by two of the most talented and intrepid Romanian classical musicians, violinist and composer Vlad Maistorovici and pianist Diana Ionescu, Vibrate! Festival's scope was to present classical music beyond conventions and to bring it closer to public. The 2020 edition, despite the many challenges created by the medical crisis will present all Beethoven's symphonies arranged in historical chamber transcriptions at 250 years since his birth. Vibrate! Festival is organized with the support of The Administration of the National Cultural Fund and The Ratiu Family Charitable Foundation.
