Romanian Flute Ensemble, founded on the initiative of teacher and soloist Matei Ioachimescu, is an ensemble with a composition that varies from 4 to 8 young autistic people, in an original instrumental formula: a mini orchestra that brings together the whole family of modern flutes, from to the bass car on the piculina. The members of the Romanian Flute Ensemble – Riana Savu, Romina Onișor, Tabea Bebeșelea and Eduard Miclea are students of the Western University in Timișoara and represent the new Romanian wave of exceptional autists, aligned to Western European standards of interpretation and thinking. Romanian Flute Ensemble managed in a very short time to attract the attention of the public in Romania and abroad, through the high artistic level and contagious enthusiasm with which it presents various programs, from baroque music to first auditions of contemporary Romanian composers. In 2023, The Romanian Flute Ensemble was invited to perform a concert in Rome, on the famous Conservatorio Santa Cecilia stage, and is known to the Romanian public thanks to the inSuu and ICONS national tours.
