The story

Moldo Crescendo Festival in Chisinau

Moldo Crescendo is an international classical music festival launched in 2015 by young Moldovan musicians studying abroad. Now in its eighth-plus edition, it presents six concerts across six venues in Chisinau and the village of Butuceni, featuring works by Bach, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Vivaldi and Enescu performed by leading Bessarabian musicians alongside invited international guests.

Moldo Crescendo began in 2015 as a project of young Moldovan classical musicians who were studying at conservatories abroad and wanted to bring that training home each year rather than performing exclusively in the cities where they trained.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Moldo Crescendo was founded by young Moldovan musicians pursuing studies abroad, giving the festival a distinct origin story tied to the diaspora of classical performers rather than a single institution or government body

02

The mystery stays covered

Its six-concert, six-venue structure spans both the capital and the rural setting of Butuceni, pairing the acoustics of formal spaces like the Organ Hall and the National History Museum with a village backdrop that most classical festivals in the region do not attempt

03

The city starts moving

The repertoire draws on core European composers, Bach, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Vivaldi, alongside Romanian composer George Enescu, reflecting both a Western classical canon and regional identity

04

The water draws everyone in

Violinist Alexandra Conunova, among Moldova's most recognized musicians internationally, has performed as part of the festival's roster of leading Bessarabian talent
