Madrigal Chamber Choir to hold Easter Tour in seven cities in Romania, Moldova
<p>The "Madrigal - Marin Constantin" National Chamber Choir will hold the Easter Tour "Holy Week" with performances in seven cities across Romania and the Republic of Moldova in April 1-17.</p>
<p>The Extraordinary Show "Holy Week," conducted by Anna Ungureanu, will be presented in Câmpina, Bacău, Chișinău, Pitești, Râmnicu Vâlcea, Timișoara, and Bucharest. Special guests at the event are actors Marius Turdeanu and Theo Marton.</p>
<p>"The Extraordinary Show 'Holy Week' offers the audience a retrospective of the last week of Jesus' life. From joy and life to agony and then ecstasy, from light to darkness and back to light again, the spectator becomes part of an avalanche of emotions. We are delighted to be present this Easter in cities we haven’t visited in decades and, at the same time, to bring our show across the Prut River to Chișinău,” said Emil Pantelimon, manager of the Madrigal Choir and director of the performance.</p>
<p>The performance will also feature children's choirs from the National Cantus Mundi Program in the host cities, who will sing alongside the Madrigal Choir, as they do every year. Details and tickets are available on the online platforms bilete.ro and iticket.md.</p>
