The Banat Philharmonic (Filarmonica<br />

Banatul) emerged from the<br />

Philharmonic club founded in <strong>Timisoara</strong><br />

in 1871.<br />

The original association maintained mainly a<br />

men's choir and dealt with the holding of solo<br />

concerts. Topics such as chamber music,<br />

symphony, oratorio and mixed choirs were<br />

provided in the statutes. The orchestra was<br />

renamed in 1947 in Banatul Philharmonic<br />

Orchestra and subsequently in Banatul<br />

Philharmonic.<br />

At the beginning the concerts were held in the<br />

Opera. Since 1969 the annual festival of the Banat<br />

Philharmonic (initially every two years) the<br />

“<strong>Timisoara</strong> Muzicala” takes place. Onwards from<br />

1981 there is also the annual Festival “George<br />

Enescu Musical Days” (Zilele muzicale George<br />

Enescu).<br />

End of 2006, the building of the former Capitol<br />

Cinema was legally pledged to the Ministry of<br />

Culture. The Banat Philharmonic uses the Capitol<br />

since that time.<br />
