NTB - Host Theatre

Independent show hosted by the National Theatre of Bucharest. The organiser is exclusively liable for the quality and content of this event! When you hear the name "Aurelian Temisan"... you immediately think of a song of his that resonated with you, a savory joke on TV or a mega line from a comedy you've seen with him. In addition to being a singer, juror and actor, Aurelian is a Human. He likes quality, intimacy and closeness. The irony is that he creates the greatest intimacy with you, the audience, in his regular concerts whereby he offers impeccable musical quality, so much positive energy and not least gratitude to the audience, to the artists, to the artists on stage with him and the composers of real music. It is hard to forget an evening spent with Aurelian.  So, without many other words... Aurelian Temisan invites you to a new concert on November 18, 2024, at the National Theatre in Bucharest (Ion Caramitru Hall) at 19:30. Come and join him and the great music!

The Apuseni Mountains alpenhorn ensemble reunites with electronic music producer Milan Warmoeskerken on the TNB Amfiteatatrum stage for a first-ever concert in Romania. The evening will be completed by the electro-acoustic Al Ehtifal Project. An event presented by the Melodiy and The Attic platforms. The composition in a modern electro-acoustic key for the alpenhorn was created by Belgian artist Milan W for the Europalia Festival - Romania 2019, deconstructing and recomposing, in real time, the sound of the alpenhorn, with the help of the synthesizer. In the Apuseni Mountains, there is a community of women and girls who play the alpenhorn, an archaic wooden aerophonic instrument, up to three meters long and handmade from spruce. Historically, the alpenhorn began as an instrument of communication, being used to call the army to battle, to call the troops to the battle, to signal shepherds, etc. Its musical value has been apparent since the 19th century, and it is one of the few wind instruments for which there are almost no compositions.

Toulouse Lautrec are a reminder of Little Paris in the 2000s, they are a black and white photo of a "back to the future" film frame in which the actor uses a 16" key. Toulouse Lautrec borrowed from the painter's personality and spread it across the airwaves and stages of the country. In an era of the prefix "post", Toulouse Lautrec are post indie-rock, post-mainstream and post-underground. They've managed to survive myspace, youtube, facebook, instagram, spotify and now they're coping with artificial intelligence. They are and have remained four guys who play guitars and drums and have been reinventing themselves for 14 years now. They have 5 albums, dozens of chart-topping songs, dozens of videos, countless gigs in about seven countries and seven seas, as far as they can remember.

Founded by Nicu Alifantis in 1995 as a studio band for the recording of the album "Voiaj" (Journey), it became a project band in 1996, after having also recorded the album "Nichita". Their first stage appearance took place in July 1996 at the Medieval Art Festival in Sighișoara, where they gave the recital "Chanson pour mon amour". This festival gave the band a name: Zan. Zan '... one of the most important masks of the Commedia dell'Arte, the one that brings the new breath of comedy, socially representing, through its cleverness, cunning and knowledge of the key to success, the revenge of the new class - the underclass of the fairs and villages... ("Commedia dell'Arte - Anthology, translation and notes" by Olga Marculescu - Editura Univers) Alifantis & Zan, made up of talented musicians from different musical backgrounds (jazz, rock, pop), each with a strong artistic personality, have reached a special artistic affinity, finding together their own musical path. Nicu Alifantis – voice, guitars, ukulele, washboard; Virgil Popescu – bass, vocal backing; Sorin Voinea – keyboards, vocal backing; Razvan Mirica – guitar, Indian lute, vocal backing; Relu Bitulescu – drums, and since 2010, they are joined by special guest Mihai Nenita - violin. Of the more than 330 concerts to date, there have been some landmark ones with Ricky Martin, Simple Minds, Misia, Pataky Attila, Saragossa Band, culminating with the opening recital at the Bob Dylan concert in Bucharest in 2010. It never crossed my mind at the time that I would spend the next 20 years with these people, playing gigs in the country and abroad, recording albums, making friends, watching our children being born or growing up... It seems that the title of our first album, "Voiaj" (Journey), was predestined. A perpetual journey with people, among people, for people. Virgil, like a teacher, Mr. Headmaster, meticulous, demanding but polite, typical old school, composer, conductor, orchestrator, bass player, exceptional professional. Razvan, Englishman, polite, well-mannered, pedantic, amiable, skillful guitar player of all kinds in the most sensitive or explosive style. Sorin, the soul of a rocker, heavymetalurgist temperament, rebel or dreamer, good juggler in the words of the spirit, diligent dig into the hidden sounds among the keyboards and synthesizer buttons. Relu, the bohemian from Montmartre, always generous, coquettish, gallant, a young storyteller, talkative but full of fun, constantly shuttling between the stage and the studio, clutching brushes or drumsticks. Thus began the story... Zan, a story of more than two decades, a perpetual journey with people among people for people. It never crossed my mind for a moment that with these fairies I was going to spend years playing gigs all over the country and abroad, recording albums, making friends, watching our children being born or our grandchildren growing up... Like any beautiful story, this one is told in the evening, whispered in the light of the soul and is hard to forget... Nicu Alifantis Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu
