World premiere: Mihail Jora Philharmonic, Bacău · 14 November 2019, under Tiberiu Soare. Revived in Brașov in February 2025, with Pedro Carneiro — the occasion on which Anastasiu called the third movement, Dusk, "a musical twilight revealing another dimension — a slow passage between light and dark, between sound and silence".
World premiere: Pitești Philharmonic, Sala Simfonia · 13 October 2022, under Gian Luigi Zampieri, with Cosmin Dumitriu on marimba. The third concerto in the catalogue — and the first in the vibraphone/marimba double-concerto form he revisits, expanded, in The algoRhythm (2025).

World premiere: Filarmonica Ploiești, Sala Ion Baciu · 30 October 2025, under Tiberiu Soare, alongside marimbist Cosmin Dumitriu.
