The fourth edition of the Matei Br\u00e2ncoveanu Awards Gala, organised by the Alexandrion Foundation, took place on the evening of 11 December. Seven young talents in literature, history, visual arts, film, theatre, music and architecture received cash awards for projects carried out over the past year. The Alexandrion Foundation supports young talent!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Stelios Savva, First Vice-President of the Alexandrion Foundation and CEO of Alexandrion Group, opened the gala with a speech that emphasised the desire underlying the project: to support young people who bring added value and are excellent in their fields.<\/p>\n

“The Matei Br\u00e2ncoveanu Awards began as a recognition of the merits of personalities who excel in their fields and are true examples. The Alexandrion Foundation was established and became our platform for social responsibility, reflecting all the social attributes of Alexandrion Group. Over the past 20 years, the foundation’s mission has been to lead all the group’s social actions, focusing mainly on culture and sport. We, the people of the Alexandrion Foundation, have always believed that exceptional achievement in fields such as science, history, culture or sport can change society. We will always find inspiration in the success of older generations, in our history and in our traditions, but we must also turn our attention to future generations. They are responsible for preserving our traditions and ensuring their continuity, and also for the development of our culture and society.”, said Stelios Savva.<\/p>\n

The awards were the result of careful selection and judging by the specialist jury on solid criteria: excellence, achievement, passion for the field represented, analysis of the career, and contribution to society. The jury of the Matei Br\u00e2ncoveanu Awards, led by Academician Dan Berindei, met in two sessions to discuss the projects submitted, with a view to granting the remarkable distinctions offered by the Alexandrion Foundation to young people who had exceptional achievements in the past 12 months. The young talents excel in 7 categories of creativity, and the awards were granted as follows: in the Music<\/strong> category the award went to the conductor Gabriel Bebe\u0219elea<\/strong>, who in 2018 recorded, with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, a CD with the oratorio STRIGOII and “Pastorale \u2013 Fantaisie pour petite orchestre”, by George Enescu.<\/p>\n

The director Paul Negoescu<\/strong> won the Film<\/strong> award with his 2018 feature film “Povestea unui pierde-var\u0103” (The Story of a Layabout). For her work in theatre<\/strong>, the young actress Silvana Mihai<\/strong> was honoured. She has performed on the stages of the most important theatres, in independent theatre as well as at the National Theatre Bucharest, the Metropolis Theatre, the Excelsior Theatre and the Mic Theatre, and on the small screen in the series Umbre. The award was given for Chekhov’s “The Seagull”, staged in 2018 at the independent theatre “Unteatru”, in which she gave an exceptional performance.<\/p>\n

In the Literature<\/strong> category, the winner was Teodor Dun\u0103<\/strong>, who with the volume “KIRIL\u0102” (published by Tracus Arte, in December 2017) gave full proof of his maturity as a writer. Costel Coroban<\/strong>, published by the prestigious Cambridge Scholars Publishing with the volume “Ideology and Power in Norway and Iceland, 1150-1250”, was chosen as the winner of the History category. Art<\/strong> was represented by R\u0103zvan Boar,<\/strong> an artist with numerous international solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, London, Edinburgh and Vienna, honoured for the project “From Different Angles” at MNAC. Ilinca P\u0103un-Constantinescu<\/strong> is the laureate in the Architecture<\/strong> category.
