Ave Maria

About

The production is a choral album launch built around the release of Ave Maria, the first album in a series dedicated to the Easter holidays. The National Chamber Choir "Madrigal - Marin Constantin" provides the core vocal ensemble, with Anna Ungureanu responsible for musical selection and conducting. The album project combines sacredly inspired choral repertoire with spoken and vocal participation by actor Marius Manole, who contributes a selection of psalms. Young Beats, the Cantus Mundi percussion ensemble, participates under the coordination of musician Zoli TOTH, and pianist Abel Corban also collaborates on the record. The launch has a visual component through the recorded Benedictus video by Jacob de Haan, arranged by Zoli TOTH. The release documents a recording project and its video presentation rather than a newly announced live staging with a public cast or ticketed venue.
