Liviu Dănceanu was born in 1954 in Roman, he graduated the National University of Music from Bucharest (1980) in the composition class of Ștefan Niculescu. His work includes more than 150 musical works, 20 volumes of musical philosophy and hermeneutics, numerous articles. As manager and conductor of the Archaeus ensemble, founded in 1985, he has held a rich concert life abroad. He won numerous awards in composition, among which: “Studium de Toulouse Prize”, 1986, The Award of the Romanian Academy, 1989, awards of UCMR, 1988, 1990, 1994, 2001, 2004, 2006, ACIN award (for film music, 1988).
