The Professional Artistic Ensemble "Crișana" invites you to the extraordinary concert "Song and game from the ancestors", which will take place on Thursday, July 1, from 7:00 PM, at the Great Hall of the Regina Maria Theater and has as special guest the well-known traditional music performer from the Țării Lăpușului area, Grigore Lese.

Doctor of Music and professor at the University of Music in Bucharest, Grigore Leșe is a true ambassador of Romanian folk traditions, being among the few performers who preserve and transmit their timeless beauty and depth unaltered.

Our people have always managed to transpose their joys, sufferings, aspirations and teachings into song and dance, which are an invaluable wealth of folkloric heritage. Folk song, in particular, has penetrated deeply into Romanian spirituality, being a true bearer of the philosophy of the Romanian people.

Grigore Leșe's repertoire consists exclusively of ancient songs, which bring a piece of the archaic wisdom of our ancestors into the contemporary world, creating a strong bond between the present and the past, so necessary in building and maintaining identity and authenticity.

Along with the special guest, the ensemble's orchestra and dance corps will also take the stage, as will the vocal soloists Leontin Ciucur, Otilia Haragoș Seghedi, Bianca Popa - finalist of the television show "Vedeta populară", broadcast by TVR1 - and the instrumental artists Stângaciu and Petrică Popa.

Tickets can be purchased either online, on the Eventim.ro platform, or starting one hour before the show at the Theatre Agency. Access to the performance hall will be done respecting the rules for preventing COVID-19 infection, namely: mandatory wearing of a mask, thermal scanning at the entrance, hand disinfection and distancing.

We look forward to seeing you!
