NICOLAE LUPU – TEACHER AND CONDUCTOR (1897-1981)

Abstract

The present study approaches the history of Romanian education in the town of Sebeş – Alba during the first half of the 20th century. The paper considers Nicolae Lupu, a teacher of several schools in town, who contributed to the promotion of cultural and artistic values among the Romanian community in the area. The information referring to the teacher Nicolae Lupu comes mostly from documents found in the funds of the Sebeş Orthodox Parish and Astra from the Alba County Service of the Romanian National Archives. The material was organized chronologically, a process permeated with inherent difficulties due to the lack of information which would allow for the drawing of a complete professional trajectory.
