  • VIA SOUND – 10 – 16 octombrie 2016 – Corul SOUND din Bucureşti va face un turneu în Ungaria unde va prezenta mai multe spectacole, abordând un repertoriu care cuprinde muzică corală românească. Proiectul VIA SOUND – Vizibilitate Internațională și Acces la cultura românească cu corul SOUND – proiect cultural finanțat de Institutului Cultural Român (ICR) prin programul CentenArt – își propune promovarea culturii și creației românești prin organizarea unei serii de 4 concerte de muzică corală românească (tradițională și contemporană). Corul va susţine primul concert la Jula/Gyula marţi, 11 octombrie orele 18.00 la Catedrala Sfântul Nicolae. Repertoriul ales pentru construirea întregului spectacol aminteşte de traseul iniţiatic al principalelor momente ale Vieții, elemente care au inspirat creațiile folclorice din cele mai vechi timpuri. Spectacolul va întruchipa muzical și corporal – într-o manieră artistică specifică interpretării corale – emoția și spiritul fiecărui mare moment al Vieții. Trăiri puternice ca bucuria, tristețea, melancolia, dorul doinit și dragostea, rugăciunea în momentele de cumpănă, bocetul când ai pierdut pe cineva drag, recunoștința pentru binecuvântările vieții, toate sunt oglindite prin prelucrări complexe de divertisment, dans și satiră ale folclorul autentic, dar și cu lucrări religioase românești.
