Composer, teacher, conductor and pianist. At age 10 he began learning the piano with Eduard Meissner Iaşi (1901-1909) and Helena André (1909-1912). Enrolled at the Conservatory of the city from 1909 to 1911 he studied theory and music theory with Sofia Teodoreanu and harmony with Alexandru Zirra. He perfected the Leipzig Conservatory with Robert Teichmüller (Piano), Stephan Krell (harmony, counterpoint, composition), Hoffmann (orchestration), Hans Sitt (conducting) and Max Reger for composition. In 1919 and 1920 he traveled to Paris and studied composition with Florent Schmitt. Mihail Jora

is honored the first prize for composition in 1915 George Enescu. In 1920 he was a founding member of the League of Composers Romanians in Bucharest, where he is vice-president from 1940 to 1948. He was appointed head of the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation Bucharest from 1928 to 1933 and is granted a professorship in composition at the Conservatory of Paris (1930-1948, 1954-1961), who assured from 1941 to 1947 the management of the institution. From 1961 until his death he was consulting professor.

He is an active musical life as the artistic adviser of the Philharmonic (1931-1945) and Opera (1931-1944), Bucharest, by giving several recitals throughout the country, both as a pianist a conductor. Author of several publications on his fellow composers (George Enescu , Martian Negrea ...), he is a member of prestigious institutions (Institute of Bonn Max Reger, 1948; Romanian Academy, 1955; the Gesellschaft der Freunde Musik International Brief Archive, Vienna, 1962). Among the many honors he receives, there is the Gold Medal of the Exposition Universelle de Paris 1937. Mihail Jora

strives to give its credentials in the Romanian ballet. It comprises six whose Curtea veche (1948) and Hanul Dulcinea (1966). A Symphony in C major (1937), a symphonic poem with tenor solo by Mihai Eminescu ( Poveste index , 1920), three orchestral suites (1915, 1924, 1932), a Burlesque (1949) and two cantatas complement its contribution to symphonic literature. His chamber music is represented by a few duos (violin or viola, piano) and two quartets String (1926, 1966). He devotes two piano sonatas (1913, 1942), the Variations on a Theme by Schumann (1943) and several collections of character pieces. The bulk of its catalog consists of the songs and melodies he wrote throughout his life, from Fünf Lieder für eine Mittelstimme op. 1, 1914 until Cinci cantece Versuri pe Mariana Dumitrescu op. 54, 1968. Mihail Jora finally leaves two collections of mixed chorus a cappella and restoration of the comic opera Flondor noapte Tudor Gheorghe ( The night of St. George , revised and orchestrated in 1937).

Romanians put Mihail Jora's influence on their music scholarship at the same level as that of a Enesco. He has invented an imaginary folklore, without borrowing from popular themes, a great personality. His ballets are the quintessence of his work, rendering full justice to his talent as an orchestrator. His sarcastic attitude he willingly posed some difficulties, however, even justify putting away (fortunately temporary) of the artistic life.
