Dan Dediu (* 1967, Brăila) studied composition in Bucharest with Ştefan Niculescu and Dan Constantinescu, and in Vienna with Francis Burt. Various creative or research scholarships (Herder and Alban Berg – Vienna, Ircam – Paris, New Europe College – Bucharest, College of Sciences – Berlin, Villa Concordia – Bamberg) have played a decisive role in his composition evolution. He composed over 170 works covering almost all musical genres:
Cvartetul nr. 7
Dan Dediu – Für Ulisse – String Quartet No.7
Dan Dediu – Für Ulisse – Viola
Dan Dediu – Für Ulisse – Violin I
Born in Cluj in 1951, the composer Adrian Pop was trained under the successive guidance of his father, the renowned choirmaster and professor Dorin Pop, then studied composition at the “Gheorghe Dima” Academy of Music in Cluj between 1970 and 1976 with maestros Sigismund Toduţă and Cornel Ţăranu.

(born on the 2nd of May 1944, Reuseni, Suceava)
He studied at the “George Enescu” Conservatory in Iași, graduating successively in the music pedagogy (1969) and composition (1975), being a disciple of Professor Vasile Spătărelu. In 1980, at the proposal of the Union of Romanian Composers and Musicologists, he benefited from a specialization and documentary scholarship offered by the Italian Government at the “Santa Cecilia” Academy in Rome; he specialized in polyphony and composition with the famous Italian musician of Romanian origin Roman Vlad (1981 – 1985). His interest in Roman Vlad’s work which he constantly promoted in Romania, both through a doctoral thesis and through the editing of compositions or the translation and care of his musicological writings, dates back to that time.
