According to the tradition of the festival, at the Holy Liturgy in the Metropolitan Cathedral, the "Timotei Popovici" Choir and the "Anastasis" Choir of the Deva Cathedral provided the liturgical responses, bringing together over 100 choristers.

That's a lovely milestone. Over 100 choristers singing the responses together at the Liturgy must have sounded wonderful in that cathedral. Well done to Fr Dan Alexandru Streza and all the choirs who came.

I am glad to see how many choirs came to Sibiu - more than a hundred singers at the Liturgy, what a power of sound in that metropolitan cathedral. It is good that Father Dan Alexander Streza remembers exactly 120 years since the consecration of the cathedral, because the choir "Timotey Popovych" really sings there from the very beginning. Thank God that the tradition continues.
