About The Event
Songwriter and performer Marius Mihalache, the cimbalom (țambal) maestro, is making his triumphant return to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with his latest musical project, “Săftița”, an exuberant journey through the Romanian musical tradition and a virtuosic affirmation of love as the ultimate meaning of life. As the concert’s title – Săftița is an old, beautiful Romanian female name – suggests, the concert’s irresistible playlist, made of original material based on old Romanian and Southeast European folk songs and other music genres, offers a passionate homage to the power and richness of the feminine emotional landscape. Maestro Marius Mihalache will be joined on stage by Arabela Nicolau (vocals), Lorin Mihalache (drums), and Nicu Baran (bass). Live video projections by Cristian Stănoiu.
“Săftița” [səfthɪtza] will be performed one night only, on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 7 PM, at the Kennedy Center, Family Theater in Washington, D.C.,…
