From 6 – 11 July 2016, Symbol chorus of children and young people of the Romanian Patriarchate participated in the “Claudio Monteverdi” International Choral Festival of Venice, Italy.
Choral groups from Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, Indonesia and Romania participated in this edition.
“Symbol” chorus competed in the categories for “choruses of children and young people” and “choruses of sacred music” having been awarded the gold medal at both. Selected by the jury to compete for the Grand Prix too, “Symbol” chorus was awarded the silver medal, as the Grand Prix was awarded to the chorus from Indonesia. A well deserved holyday at Covasna follows for us, and in September we shall resume the rehearsals. We announce, on this occasion, that on 17 September we shall have a new session of selection, deacon prof Jean Lupu, director of Symbol Chorus said.
In 2015, Symbol chorus celebrated 25 years of existence. Set up in the first year of freedom of the Romanian people, Symbol chorus conquered, throughout two decades and a half, the audience both from our country and from abroad. Professionalism, devotion, and the diversified repertory brought many prizes and national and international distinctions to Symbol chorus.
