Eugen Doga’s concert at the Oltenia Philharmonic in Craiova on September 12, 2017, was a truly royal gift, according to DorinMachuka, the Philharmonic’s director. Accompanied by the orchestra directed by the famous conductor AlexandruIosub, Eugen Doga displayed his universal skills as a composer, conductor and pianist.
