The French influence in our culture has been very great, from art and architecture, to administrative organization methods, but also the contribution of our country to French culture, through intellectuals and artists of Romanian origin, has been important and we are glad that this joint season has managed to emphasize so well this relationship, which has enriched both cultures. In this edition we will carry out a cultural exchange with France, we will have top French artists invited to the Conac concerts, who will perform alongside Romanian or international artists, to whose high level our audience has already become accustomed.<\/em>, declares musician R\u0103zvan Popovici, director of the SoNoRo Conac tour and the SoNoRo Festival.<\/p>\n The construction of the remarkable Pele\u0219 Castle materialized according to the wish of Carol I, lasted almost 40 years, and the inauguration in a first architectural form took place in 1883. The first heir to the Romanian throne, Carol II, was born here. For more than 60 years, the castle was a royal residence, state property since 1948, a museum that can be visited from 1953 to 1975 and from 1990 to the present. Now the state manages the operation of the museum and pays the royal family a rent.<\/p>\n Pele\u0219 Castle is decorated on the outside in German style and has approximately 160 rooms. These include a theater hall, with a small stage and 60 seats, plus the royal box decorated in the style of Louis IV. The spaces shown to the public impress with their handmade carved wood decoration, collections of stained glass, furniture and weapons from the 15th -19th centuries. The rooms on the tourist circuit have suggestive names for the style of the interior decoration: the Moorish Hall, the Florentine Salon, the Column Hall, the Arms Hall and the Concert Hall, the hall where the chamber music concert on May 12 will take place.<\/p>\n Pele\u0219 Castle preserves its original interior decorations and attracts over 340,000 visitors annually through its unique architecture, permanent exhibitions, concerts that restore its royal charm of yesteryear, and the fact that it has witnessed numerous important historical events.<\/p>\n The SoNoRo Conac \u201c\u00c0 la fran\u00e7aise\u201d tournament is included in the Romania \u2013 France 2019 Season and continues according to the following schedule:<\/p>\n May 30, 2019 \u2013 Royal Palace in Bucharest<\/p>\n May 31 \u2013 Fortified Church in Cri\u021b, Bra\u0219ov County<\/p>\n June 1 \u2013 Fortified Church in Me\u0219endorf, Bra\u0219ov County<\/p>\n June 2 \u2013 Fortified Church in Viscri, Bra\u0219ov County<\/p>\n June 3 \u2013 Military Circle from Bra\u0219ov, Bra\u0219ov County<\/p>\n July 7 \u2013 Neolog Synagogue in Oradea, Bihor County<\/p>\n July 8 \u2013 Astra Library, Bra\u0219ov County<\/p>\n July 9 \u2013 Bran Castle, Bra\u0219ov County<\/p>\n July 10 \u2013 Cistercian Church from C\u00e2r\u021ba, Bra\u0219ov County<\/p>\n July 11 \u2013 Florica Villa from \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219ti, Arge\u0219 County<\/p>\n SoNoRo Conac is a project initiated by the Sonoro Association, with the support of the main partner BRD \u2013 Groupe Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale, with the aim of mediating favorable contexts for the saving of important monuments from the Romanian heritage.<\/p>\n Access to SoNoRo Conac concerts is free and is by invitation or reservation, within the limit of available seats, at: rezervari@sonoro.ro or 0741.190.470.<\/p>\n The concert series schedule and more details about SoNoRo Conac are available at: conac.sonoro.ro<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n About SoNoRo Mansion<\/p>\n In 2013, the Sonoro Association laid the foundations for a new project \u2013 SoNoRo Conacce, which aims, by associating music with emblematic architectural works from Romania, to suggest the need for respect, attention and support for Romania's extraordinary cultural heritage and resources.<\/p>\n SoNoRo Conac started from the idea of giving chamber music its original, intimate space, conducive to cultural dialogue and active listening by a small audience.
