MUSIC IN THE MUSEUM (THE 70S-80S OF THE 20TH CENTURY, CHISINAU)

Abstract

The opening of the Organ Hall in Chisinau and the acquisition of musical instruments typical of the Baroque era in their modern performance stimulated interest in the ancient arts. There were enough performers who wished to perform the concert programs of ancient music in order to realize their creative projects not only in the Organ Hall, but also in other halls. As shown by the practice of performing ancient music in the countries of Western Europe, the halls of museums and the halls of other ancient buildings turned out to be the most suitable for this purpose. The interest of listeners in the concerts of ancient music initiated the performers to create programs and expand the repertoire of baroque music, and improve their performing skills. Many outstanding Moldovan musicians, whose names are nowadays well-known, as well as those who left Moldova and became famous in other countries took part in the concerts. This process in the cultural life of the country promised to become traditional.
