George Enescu George Enescu (1881-1955) is considered the greatest of all Romanian composers. You can read about his life at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Enescu . For information about Enescu concerts, visit http://www.icr-london.co.uk/article/the-enescu-concerts-series-108.html . They are held on the first Thursday of most months, but this is the first time we have attended as a group in over two years.

Booking Procedure:  The ICR uses Eventbrite for bookings. I suggest you book as soon as possible, while places remain. Go to https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mihai-ritivoiu-an-exceptional-display-of-instrumental-mastery-tickets-310589811487 , select the number of tickets you want and then click on "Register". You may book up to 5 tickets, but please do not request more tickets than you are sure to use. If you want to invite others, and they are not yet sure, I suggest you ask them to book for themselves. This is important, because with Eventbrite it is not possible to reduce the number of tickets you require without cancelling your entire booking and then rebooking. After booking, you should receive an e-mail confirmation by return. There is no need to print your ticket as your name will be on the guest list.
