Hunedoara ChurchArt Fest
Description
Hunedoara County has the largest number medieval stone church in
Romania. The best known is Densuş but there are also Strei,
Streisângeorgiu, Peşteana, Colţ, Sânpetru, Ostrov, Lesnic, Gurasada,
Crişcior and Râbiţa. Ways of promoting them are completely
inexistant. They are all Gothic churches, thus a festival of classical
music (generally speaking classical, but Baroque and Gregorian
probably would fit best), outdoor concerts held at each one of these
churches (each has a special ambiance ) would bring an increase in
the number of visitors who would connect this music to the
architecture of the area.
The festival would be held every August (starting 2015), for four
week-ends, two days every weekend - Saturday and Sunday. We
estimate that all preparations will be made in 6 months.
At first, we consider four areas with the best preserved churches Densuş, Sântamaria Orlea, Strei and Colţ. In each of the two nights of
the show/week there would be concerts of classical music ensembles
- quartets, chamber orchestras, experimental ensembles. There will
also be exhibitions and photography contests, conferences on
conservation of monuments of medieval art, etc.
Estimated budget is 60,000 Eur (with a EU contribution of 36.000
Eur).
