The Timișoara 2023 Association - European Capital of Culture, together with the Romanian Cultural Institute in Budapest, invite you to participate in an event organized on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the outbreak of the Romanian Revolution in Timișoara.

The event will occur on December 5, 2023, at the ICR Budapest headquarters (Izsó Street, no. 5, 1146 Budapest). It will begin at 18:00 with the opening of the "Timișoara Incognito" photography exhibition, presenting images from the 1989 Revolution captured by the photographer from Timișoara, Constantin Duma.

The cultural evening will continue on a musical note with a classical guitar concert by the artists Ilie Stepan and Horea Crișovan.

He composed music for over 100 theatre shows and over 50 documentary and television films. The song "Timișoara", written in December 1989 to the lyrics of Marian Odangiu, became the Official Anthem of the Municipality of Timișoara in 2013.
