The National Philharmonic “Sergey Lunkevich” that was seriously destroyed in a fire on September 24 will definitely be reconstructed. Minister of Education, Culture and Research Igor Sharov said there are no doubts that the damaged building should be rebuilt, IPN reports.

“Experts are to pronounce on the current state of the Philharmonic. A preliminary examination was carried out. Work is now done on the project to demolish the part that was damaged. The Philharmonic will be reconstructed, but it is not yet known how,” the minister stated in the talk show “Emphasis on Today” on TVR Moldova channel.

According to the minister, a working group was set up on the Premier’s instruction to manage the situation. It involves representatives of the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research and the Ministry of Finance and this works at a rather swift pace.

The ensuring of the activity of the staff of the National Philharmonic was an important aspect considered by the authorities.

“The Palace of the Republic will house the Symphonic Orchestra managed by master Agafița and the Orchestra “Folclor” managed by master Neamțu. The Chisinau Culture Division accommodated the Ensemble of Accordionists “Concertino”. The administration was lodged in the spaces provided by “Moldova Concert,” stated the minister.

Also, the National Library created a working group that is restoring the scores and the whole library of the Philharmonic.

The Ministry of Education, Culture and Research is grateful for the massive mobilization witnessed in the public sphere.

“Mates from Romania, the philharmonics of Bucharest, Oradea, Iași and many people of culture and arts have lent a hand. There is unprecedented mobilization of the politicians, ordinary people, people of culture and the scientific community around this facility that will definitely be reconstructed,” said Igor Sharov.
