Each brings a catalogue of songs that entire generations grew up with\u2014songs still played, still loved, still instantly recognised.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of this event, Maggie spoke with our colleague from Radio Romania Culture about her early years, the artists who shaped her imagination, the unexpected way in which her collaboration with Mike Oldfield began, and her connection with the audiences who have followed her for more than four decades. <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2223145043&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true&#038;visual=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/radioromaniainternational\" title=\"RadioRomaniaInternational\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">RadioRomaniaInternational<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/radioromaniainternational\/change-makers-december-2-2025\" title=\"Change Makers - December 2, 2025\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Change Makers &#8211; December 2, 2025<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This December, Maggie Reilly joins a remarkable lineup in Bucharest, in the show entitled \u201cRemember Classy Hits&#8221;, which brings together artists whose songs became part of Europe\u2019s collective memory.
