The smartphone app was designed to help those who love the Enescu Festival and classical music to grapple with over 150 concerts of the festival and dozens of projects under the Creative Bucharest project, but also to facilitate access to current content about the festival.

The application is available in English in order to facilitate international public access seeing as, on average, 20,000 foreign tourists come to Bucharest to attend the Enescu Festival.

The concert took one of the greatest stages of the world – Royal Festival Hall, before an audience of over 2,000 people. The interpretation arrived in London after being presented within the 2013 edition of the Enescu Festival at Sala Palatului.
