STORY
ORCHESTRA
For seven seasons, musicians from the main orchestras of the Greater Region have been brought together to work on projects of the Choeur de Chambre de Luxembourg. They have convinced audiences and critics alike by the finesse and intensity of their playing and their perfect symbiosis with the choir. In front of sold-out halls, the orchestra shone in the most diverse and demanding repertoires, giving unforgettable concerts. The orchestra's qualities and the thorough work of its musical director, Antonio Grosu, have attracted musicians from far beyond the Greater Region. The Grand Concert Beethoven 9, given at the beginning of the 2021 season, marked a key moment in the evolution of this orchestra: bringing together young musicians who display their talent in orchestras from different European countries, the ensemble has taken on a name that reflects its identity: the European Academic Orchestra. The pages of Beethoven's 9th Symphony and the reflection of all the values it embodies provided the perfect setting for this metamorphosis. Apart from the artistic demands it sets itself, the EAO aims to be a launching pad for young musicians of exceptional talent at the beginning of their professional careers in the major European orchestras.

In a sometimes standardized world, often characterized by routine, Antonio GROSU distinguishes himself through his striking, deeply-moving interpretations, as well as through his different, intense and unique vision, which brings about a true rediscovery of musical works. His courage to go beyond the comfortable and the conventional, to walk outside the too well-trodden path, offers a transformative experience. Musicians and the public alike have given witness that his concerts generate a transcendental atmosphere, which carries them into another dimension. Born in 1980, Antonio Grosu studied music and obtained a Master’s Degree in direction and musical pedagogy at the „George Enescu” University of Arts of Iasi, Romania. He perfected his knowledge with Lucas Vis (Amsterdam) and Carlo Hommel (Luxembourg). In 2005, he started his career as Musical Director at the „Notre Dame” Cathedral of Luxembourg and continued his path with various orchestras. In 2012, he was chosen to conduct the royal marriage of Luxembourg’s Crown Prince, an event broadcast live in numerous countries. For the past few years, besides the symphonic repertoire and in collaboration with the Choeur de Chambre de Luxembourg and the European Academic Orchestra, he has specialized in the grand vocal-symphonic repertoire, which he masters with excellence – he has led with flair and ease symphonic configurations made up of more than 200 musicians, singers and soloists, playing and singing in perfect symbiosis, in sold-out concert halls.
