O autoru

Costel Puscoiu was born on August 29, 1951 in Bucharest, Romania. He studied and graduated from the

"Ciprian Porumbescu" College of Music in Bucharest, majoring in "Composition and Theory." In

Romania he worked as a music teacher, and for some years he was a conductor and researcher at the

Institute for Ethnology and Folklore in Bucharest. He was also a member of the Society of Romanian

Composers.

His compositions comprise symphonic music (symphony, cantatas, concerto for viola), chamber music

(string quartets, sonata for clarinet and piano, contemporary for several ensembles, pieces for pan

flute), choir pieces and filmscores. His compositions are often influenced by Romanian folklore and

Byzantine liturgies. He has also written several musicological and folkloristic studies and

articles.

In September 1982 he preferred the Netherlands to his native Romania, and now he works as a pan

flute teacher and as the leader of an orchestra at "The Free Academy Westvest" in Delft, in the

music-school department. Meanwhile he has become a member of the Dutch Composers Association.
