Join the American Romanian Festival for an intimate evening of chamber music performed by musicians from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. From Afar: Quartets by Grigoriu, Smetana, and More presents a program where tradition and innovation meet, featuring Ionica Pop’s Impresii din România, a recent work commissioned by the Festival, and Theodor Grigoriu’s evocative On the River Argeș, inspired by Romanian folk melodies and poetic imagery. The concert also includes Ciprian Porumbescu’s beloved Ballad in a new arrangement for string quartet, alongside Bedřich Smetana’s powerful String Quartet in E Minor, “From My Life”—a work that transcends borders with its deeply personal reflections on love, loss, and resilience. Experience music that whispers across time and geography, offering both heartfelt nostalgia and bold expression.Sujin Lim, violin
