Teo Milea – pianist & composer (Toronto, Canada)

Teo Milea is a Toronto-based classical/crossover pianist and composer whose unique musical style speaks to the public in a cinematic way.

Teo Milea collaborated with The Opera of Vienna (Austria), he is the first pianist in the world invited to play his own music at the NATO headquarters (Brussels, Belgium) and even more, the first pianist to mount on the stage of The International Ballet Festival (Dortmund, Germany), interpreting his work.

Among his latest achievements, Teo Milea was the first solo piano artist to reach the Top 4 of the Searchlight 2016 contest on CBC Music Canada and the winner of the Popular Vote with his solo piano song ‘Irreversible’. He was also selected to give the Postludes performance after Ludovico Einaudi`s concert at the Koerner Hall, in Toronto.

Discovering Teo Milea`s music is love at first note. When you listen to his music, you`ll realize you have been listening to the perfect soundtrack of your life.

“Some very talented people can construct pseudo-narratives from music itself. Teo Milea has the rare ability to do all this with only the use of his piano… Milea has enough talent in him to become not only one of the next great piano players, but composers, too”.

– The Scene Magazine (Toronto)

Kurt Laurenz Theinert – live performing light & media artist, photographer (Stuttgart, Germany)

Kurt Laurenz Theinert is a photographer and live performing light and media artist.

His „visual piano“ performances are shown all around the world in Sao Paulo, London, Sydney, Berlin, New York and Singapore.

With the aid of software developers Roland Blach and Philipp Rahlenbeck, he has created an ‘image instrument’ (visual piano) on a MIDI-keyboard basis, that allows him to translate his artistic intentions into live performances while configuring time with light.

He creates pure visual music – live, abstract and space filling by using 360° panorama projection. There is no technical link between sound and image to enable a spontaneous dialogue between him and the musician. In his compositions and improvisations, he pries open the static properties of his projection spaces in favour of only those spatial correlations that can be perceived in the dynamics.

The Universe Vibrates by Florin-Eugen Zamfirescu @ TeodoraART Gallery, Toronto | SEP 12-24

Published by C.R.

TeodoraART Gallery is pleased to exhibit a new series of original paintings by Florin Eugen Zamfirescu: The Universe Vibrates, a narrative about the mysteries of the Universe and the artist’s attempt to understand and decipher them.

Florin-Eugen Zamfirescu: The Universe Vibrates

Opening Reception
Saturday, September 16, 2017 from 2 – 5 PM

214 Avenue Road, Toronto

“The Universe Vibrates” – is a narrative about the mysteries of the universe and our struggle to understand and decipher them. The central character of the series is the “proto-scientist”, who I consider the real hero of our times. He does not possesses superpowers or magic tools. Humanity has never been saved by miracles. What we need is a never-ending curiosity, a thirst for knowledge and tools to help us understand and interpret the great unknown.

Andrei Feher

Published by C.R.

Board Chair of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, Catherine Copp, is pleased to announce the four-year appointment of Andrei Feher as the new Music Director, effective August 2018. Since the announcement in October 2015 that current Music Director Edwin Outwater’s tenure would finish at the end of the 2016/17 Season, the Search Committee has been working to find a suitable successor. Feher, chosen after a thorough 18-month long search, was noted for his conducting prowess and musicianship, as well his imaginative approach to performance, repertoire and community connection.

Copp commented, “Andrei impressed us throughout the entire search process. After his appearance on the podium, we brought him back for a deep dive within our community – meeting technology sector leaders, attending social occasions and an interview with the Committee. In the end it was a unanimous decision by the Committee and the KWS Board.”

Larry Larson, KWS Principal Trumpet and member of the Search Committee said of the appointment, “Andrei created such a wonderful energy and buzz during his time with us in November – a buzz which is still being felt by members of the orchestra as we remember his debut with us. He has the right enthusiasm and vision to see the KWS continue to grow and thrive as the jewel of the community that we are. I look forward to many wonderful years of music-making with Andrei as we begin this exciting new relationship.”

Born in Romania to a family of musicians, Andrei Feher began his musical education as a violinist in his hometown Satu Mare before continuing his studies at the Montreal Conservatoire when his parents relocated to Canada. In 2011, he began training as a conductor and, at only 22 years old, became the youngest assistant at the Québec Symphony Orchestra under the guidance of Fabien Gabel. In 2013 he worked with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music Director of the Orchestre Métropolitan in Montreal, and in September 2014, Feher joined the Orchestre de Paris for a 2-year term as Assistant Conductor to its Music Director, Paavo Järvi. He made his debut with the KWS in November 2016 on the Signature Series concert Debuts & Bijoux and was extremely well received by musicians and audiences alike.

As Music Director, Feher will be responsible for the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony’s overall artistic leadership including programming and artistic direction.

“I am pleased and honoured to accept this position,” commented Andrei. “Having studied with Raffi Armenian, I feel a particular connection with the richness and history of the KWS. From my first contact with the Orchestra, I felt welcomed as if we already knew each other, as if I were part of the family. I believe that our future together will bring richly emotional experiences.”

“I’m thrilled to hear of Andrei Feher’s appointment,” commented current Music Director Edwin Outwater. “I met him recently in Paris and know he’ll be a great fit for the orchestra. I believe he will lead them with great musicianship, creativity and integrity. It’s clear that the KWS is confident in what it wants as an orchestra going forward, and I’m glad there will be such a solid and quick transition in artistic leadership.”

For the upcoming 2017/18 Season, beginning in September 2017, Feher will serve as the Music Director Designate. Already slated to conduct the performances of Ode to Joy in May 2018, he will also take the podium in 2017 for the November’s performances of Glorious Brahms featuring alto Krisztina Szabó and the Estonian National Male Choir.

Currently residing in Paris, Feher will relocate to Montreal in the coming year, and will reside in Kitchener-Waterloo during the season as he fulfills his duties as Music Director.

The KWS would like to thank all of our sponsors including: Podium Sponsor: BMO Financial Group; Programming Sponsor: Exel Research Inc.; Signature Series Sponsor: The Economical Insurance Group; Pops Series Sponsor: Heffner Lexus; Bridge to Music Sponsor: Sunlife Financial.

Pagini Romanesti

Published by C.R.

Pagini Românești este cea mai cunoscută și mai veche publicație a comunității românești din Quebec. Primul nostru număr a apărut în martie, 2001.

Ziarul a fost fondat de doi ziariști care au emigrat din România în Canada: George Sava, de la România Liberă și Mariela Chiriță, TVR. Ambii sunt absolvenți ai Facultății de Jurnalism şi Ştiinţele Comunicării – Universitatea Bucureşti.

Pagini Românești s-a remarcat de-a lungul timpului prin ținuta sa morală, promovarea valorilor de dreapta (justiție, liberă inițiativă, dreptul la proprietate privată). A promovat constant și în mod GRATUIT evenimentele românești importante, cum au fost concertele, piesele de teatru, festivalul de film românesc etc, din dorința de a le oferi celor aflați la mii de kilometri de țară, o bucată de acasă. A promovat GRATUIT inițiative lăudabile cum este cazul școlii Junimea Română. Toate acestea s-au făcut cu o pasiune fără margini și cu eforturi pe care majoritatea dintre dumneavoastră nu le bănuiți.

Anul 2015 a marcat și o schimbare: fondatorii ziarului, George Sava și Mariela Chirita au decis să se retragă din motive personale. Ziarul a fost preluat de Viorel Anghel, care a început să lucreze la Pagini Românești în 2007. Un nou site web, mai dinamic și optimizat pentru aparatele mobile a apărut. Ziarul Pagini Românești a beneficiat în mai 2015 de un redesign total, aceasta în condițiile în care era, în presa comunitară românească, oricum lider în ceea ce privește calitatea tiparului și a paginației.

The Romanian Students Club is a cultural club representing the Romanian community at the University of Toronto. It organizes various events, from cultural to social events, allowing for the Romanian student body to gather and displays the Romanian culture to anyone interested in learning about it.

Romanian Students’ Club is a non-profit student organization at the University of Toronto established in 1996 for us to get together and get involved in social, cultural and sporting events.

Since then, we have been through numerous activities together such as outings to Hart House Farm, camping at Elora Gorge, Romanian Camp near Kitchener, BBQs on Centre Island, meeting with the then president Emil Constantinescu, and nights with Romanian artists such as Nica Petre and Tudor Gheorghe among many others. However, our signature events have remained the annual fall and spring cultural concerts and the Christmas and End-of-the-Year Parties, events where people gather in great attendances to a resounding success.

The executive would like to thank all the club’s members for their ongoing support and participation in our events, as well as the Romanian community in Toronto for joining some of our cultural events and giving their generous donations.

McGill Romanian Student Society
Societatea Studentilor Romani la McGill

The McGill Romanian Student Society is a society that aims to provide the Romanian community at McGill a place where Romanian students can meet, create friendships and have fun together in the typical good humored atmosphere that goes with the Romanian nature. Meeting a fellow Romanian student is like finding a sunken treasure in the deep sea; simply beautiful. We want to make this beauty accessible to the whole community. Whether it is the cultural innuendos, the merry atmosphere, or the witty remarks, there is something special about us that we want the world to see. While open to all students who have an attraction for our culture, the society is dedicated to representing the voice and interests of the McGill Romanian community; anyone that wants to help, has an opinion, idea, project is welcome to join us and get involved.

The association’s dream is to create a tight-knit community at McGill by hosting enjoyable events where students of common interest or background are brought and mixed together. Since most of us are at a home away from home, we also hope to create an atmosphere that brings back the kind of fun students have in Romania. In order to to that, we propose a series of small and regular events as well as larger and less frequent events. ‘Traditional’ events such as the year-opening ,,Balul Bobocilor’’ party bring a little bit of Romania to McGill by showing off how Romanian students start off the year with dances, food, drink and fun. Other events throughout the year include movie nights, laser tag, the ,,Romanian House & Club Music Party,’’ and the End of Year Party among various others.

Apart from good times, the association intends to showcase Romania’s rich culture for the entire McGill community to see. As an under-represented group, we propose to even the balance by participating in multicultural events regularly hosted by McGill and the SSMU. Be on the lookout for us because we may be hosting barbecues featuring the famous mouth-watering ,,mititei’’ or giving away ,,martisoare’’ near springtime. We also wish to share Romania’s history, traditions, and dances through activities and various interactive and fun events on or off campus.

This association was founded with hard work and good faith, and it is with hard work and good faith that it will strive to see its goals accomplished. Our team is made up of good spirited volunteers; commitment is encouraged, and all who are amiable are invited to participate. We sincerely hope our members find themselves within this association and enjoy themselves in creating bonds and memories to share as time goes by.
