Dumitru Fărcaș

Dumitru Fărcaș (13 May 1938 – 7 August 2018) was a Romanian tárogató player. He played on all major stages in the world and made the tárogató known all over the world.[1]

He was born in the Groși village. He grew up in a family of pipe players, and his older brothers played the clarinet. He studied the oboe at the Gheorghe Dima Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca.[2]

He was the leader of the "Mărțișorul" orchestra from 1962, with which he won many national and international awards.

Dumitru was made honorary citizen of the cities Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, Reșița and Baia Mare, as well as Pyongyang.

In 2008 he was awarded the Doctor honoris causa by the Gheorghe Dima Music Academy.

In 2009 he became the honorary patron of the tarogato/taragot website "11fhMSE.com".

In May 2018, during televised celebrations for his 80th birthday, Dumitru was knighted by Romania's president Klaus Iohannis. He received the National Order of Faithful Servant. As a result, Dumitru was buried with military honours in August 2018.[3]
