General Director of the State Philharmonic Orchestra “Moldova” in Iași, between 1984-1988 and then from 1999 to the present.

Violinist Bujor Prelipcean studied first in Galați, then at the “George Enescu” Conservatory in Iași. Endowed with exceptional talent and enormous work capacity, Bujor Prelipcean is considered one of the most outstanding musical personalities of Romania. After graduating from university (top of the class, 1972) he became a teacher at the Department of Interpretation of the “George Enescu” Conservatory in Iași.

Since his student years, Bujor Prelipcean has shown an obvious passion for solo activity, simultaneously with chamber music, participating in numerous recitals and concerts as a soloist in the country and abroad. In the spring of 1973, he founded the Voces String Quartet, with which he participated in numerous courses in the country and abroad, under the guidance of the masters: Wilhelm Georg Berger, Friederich von Hausegger, Uzi Wiesel, Vilmos Tatray, Amedeo Baldovino and the members of the Amadeus Quartet. Today, Voces is the longest-lived and most valuable string quartet in the musical history of Romania. Since 1980, the Voces Quartet has become an ensemble subsidized by the Romanian state, and since 1990 it has been the National Quartet of the Romanian Broadcasting Society in Bucharest. At the head of the Voces Quartet, but also outside of his chamber activity, Bujor Prelipcean has performed countless solo pages of great technical and interpretative difficulty, which have confirmed his quality as an authentic artist. Currently, Bujor Prelipcean is the manager of the Iași Philharmonic and at the same time a university professor, Ph.D. at the “George Enescu” University of Arts in Iași, honorary professor at the “Gh. Dima” Academy of Music in Cluj-Napoca and at the Academy of Music in Würzburg, Germany.
