It was a difficult decade in Romania during the 1980’s. Despite the war-torn land there, beautiful music was still being made and shared. It was 1983 when Stefan Petrescu and Daniel Nedelcu first came to the United States, touring with the Romanian Symphony. It was on their second tour, in 1989, that the two men chose to risk it all, asking to defect and to make the United States their home. They could not communicate in the English language, but as is commonly understood about music–it transcends many language barriers.

The Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra is made up of talented musicians from many areas of life and many areas of the world. The musicians love playing and are dedicated to spending numerous hours practicing to ensure performances to delight the listener. Always remembering that their job is to translate the literature into a language the rest of us can understand, many of the musicians have remained committed to this orchestra for a very long time.
