VOICED : Young Romanian musicians

Romania, despite being one of Europe's poorest countries, has a rich history of producing talented musicians. However, the lack of funding threatens the future of its art scene. The Ministry of Culture's budget is significantly lower than other European countries, leading to challenges for young musicians. Initiatives like the National Youth Orchestra, founded by Marine Cazacu, offer some hope but rely heavily on private funding. Romanian musicians often find success abroad, highlighting the need for better support and collaboration within the country.
