The "George Enescu" Philharmonic is the representative musical institution of Romania. Founded in April 1868, the "Romanian Philharmonic Society", under the direction of Eduard Wachmann, aimed to organize a permanent symphony orchestra, with a view to propagating musical culture and popularizing classical music masterpieces. The first concert took place on December 15 of the same year, under the baton of its initiator.

​

After the inauguration of the Roman Athenaeum palace, on March 5, 1889, concerts began to take place in this hall, as it still happens today, the Roman Athenaeum becoming the emblem of Romanian culture and the seat of the Philharmonic. Wachmann, who led the first permanent symphony orchestra until 1907, was succeeded by Dimitrie Dinicu (1868-1936), and from 1920, George Georgescu (1887-1964), an outstanding conductor, student of Arthur Nikisch. During the directorships of George Georgescu (1920-1944; 1954-1964), the repertoire was modernized and the Philharmonic entered the international music circuit, by participating in the first tours abroad and inviting great personalities of the interwar musical world, including Jacques Thibaud, Pablo Casals, Igor Stravinsky, Enrico Mainardi, Alfred Cortot, Maurice Ravel, Richard Strauss, Yehudi Menuhin, Herbert von Karajan and many others of universal caliber. George Georgescu is also credited with reference discography recordings, for example complete Beethoven symphonies.
