The contest is dedicated to 90 years
of Romanian radio broadcasting and to this year’s edition of the International
Festival of Radio Orchestras, RadiRo, organized by the national public radio in
our country.
The first radio transmission in Romania
was broadcast on November 1, 1928. Nine decades marked by special moments have gone
by, moments that the national public radio celebrates together with you,
by organizing a new contest. The month
of November 2018 is, however, rich in
cultural events, one of them being the 4th International Festival of
Radio Orchestras between November 18 and 25, to which this contest is dedicated
as well.
The public radio service in Romania, the
Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation, is the leader of the line industry,
with a cumulative daily reach of some 4.5 million listeners and a cumulative
market share of 30%. Radio Romania is made up of the channels Radio România
Actualităţi, Radio România Internaţional, Radio România Cultural, Radio România
Muzical, Antena Satelor, a network of over 10 regional stations, the Radio3net
online station, Radio Chişinău (based in the Republic of Moldova), but also of the
National Radio Drama Department, the RADOR News Agency and the Radio Choirs and
Orchestras.
Radio Romania organises every two
years, alternatively with the famous George Enescu International Festival,
its own International Festival of Radio Orchestras, RadiRo, which reaches its
fourth edition in 2018. Famous orchestras as well as prominent soloists and
conductors will step onto the stage of the festival, just as every year. The
main novelty of the 2018 edition is the series of jazz concerts.
You are invited to follow RRI
broadcasts, our website, www.rri.ro,

writing, a few questions, and you may be a winner. The closing date is November
30, 2018 mailing date, (namely 30 November, 24:00 hours Romanian time, for online
