Golden Stag Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Stag Festival (Romanian: Cerbul de Aur) is an annual international music festival held in Braşov, Romania. The main organiser is Televiziunea Română, Romania's state-run (and largest) television network. The festival has two main components: an international contest and guest performances by both Romanian and foreign stars. The Golden Stag was first held in 1968.
Well-known artists have performed at the festival over the years, including Gilbert Becaud, Josephine Baker, Toto Cutugno, James Brown, Christina Aguilera, Kenny Rogers, Ray Charles, UB 40, INXS, Scorpions, Ricky Martin, Pink, Sheryl Crow, Kelly Family, tATu and many others.
The festival previously took place during the summer, but more recently was moved to the autumn. For 2006, the organisers are considering staging the festival in the spring to ensure the presence of top artists.
In recent years, the Golden Stag Festival has been sponsored entirely by TVR, after the Municipality of Braşov and the Romanian Ministry of Culture decided to stop funding the event.
"Our only goal is to let the public enjoy quality music - and this we will do, by concentrating on the artists, and not the date or the location of the festival." TVR spokesperson
