Christmas Carols Concert performed by the ANATOLY Group of the Brașov Opera

Friday, December 5th, 7:00 pm, Holy Cross Romanian Church

With five exceptional voices, ANATOLY performs carols, sacred music, classical works, and folk arrangements, both a cappella and with accompaniment. They have released dozens of CDs and have achieved notable distinctions: finalists on “Romania’s Got Talent,” winners of the Grand Prize at the International Choral Competition in Chișinău, and Second Place at the International Choral Competition in Tolosa, Spain (2014). Since 2017, they have been part of the Brașov Opera. We look forward to entering together into the spirit of the winter holidays as we prepare for the great Feast of the Nativity of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

"TEOFAN, through the grace of God, Metropolitan of Moldova and Bucovina, following the word of the Holy Scripture which says that in the Church there are different works, but it is the same God who works all in all (1 Corinthians 12:5-6), we rejoice when the sons and daughters of our righteous Church multiply the talents received as a gift from the Most Merciful God, defending the Orthodox faith and working for the good of the Church. We confer, with paternal love, this DISTINCTION OF WORTHINESS TO THE CHURCH OF HOLY CROSS, SAN JOSE."
