Mada & Hugh Piano Duo preview their September 7 recital at the Enescu Festival in Bucharest, featuring music by Enescu and Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea.

In this episode, the Mada & Hugh Piano Duo share their journey to the George Enescu International Festival in Bucharest, where they will perform on September 7 at the historic Suțu Palace. They explore the legacy of Romania's greatest composer, George Enescu, and preview their all-Romanian program. The conversation highlights Madalina's personal connection to her former professor Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea, whose Sonatina Buffa pays homage to Charlie Chaplin and the golden era of silent film. From Enescu's rhapsodic folk-inspired sound world to the humor and pathos of Chaplin on the piano, Mada & Hugh invite listeners into the heart of Romanian musical heritage.
