The concert takes place on The Fourth Stage of The National Arts Centre on Friday February 08 at 8 pm.

| Ioan Harea will be accompanied by pianist Janusz Rothbard. |
| |
| This is the second concert of Ioan Harea's 2007-2008 series on the National Arts Centre's Fourth Stage.

| "Ioan Harea is a superb violinist, drawing out every possible nuance of sound and emotion from his instrument, and from the expressive music that he so obviously and passionately loves. I am still humming the tunes! The program was also beautifully varied and well paced. Our audience was thoroughly engaged - they had a great time!" |
