Throughout the festival, every Wednesday evening at 10 PM, Control Club hosts the concerts of a new series — Enescu in Control. These events bring together internationally acclaimed artists and top Romanian ensembles for a different kind of musical experience — free, experimental, and in dialogue with jazz, electronic music, and contemporary percussion.
 

The second evening (Wednesday, September 3, 2025) brings a landmark name in contemporary musical experimentation: Francesco Tristano – pianist, visionary composer, and artist who bridges Bach and techno, baroque and minimalist electronic music. His project “Bach & Beyond” is a fascinating journey through music history, where Frescobaldi and Bach coexist with original works, electronic improvisations, and daring reinterpretations. The program ranges from baroque masterpieces such as Frescobaldi’s Toccata No. 4 and Bach’s French and English Suites, to Tristano’s own creations (“Electric Mirror”, “Neon City”, “Insomnia”), ingenious transcriptions like Derrick May’s iconic techno anthem “Strings of Life” arranged for piano, and a deeply personal take on Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence”.

Uniting Bach’s universe with electronic sound, Francesco Tristano transforms the Control stage into a musical ritual that crosses centuries in a single set.
