Bine că se face la Muzeul Mitropolitan, acolo e cel mai propert. Mă bucur că au pus și un parastas în Catedrala Veche pentru Paul Miron, omul deserves it. Oare va putea veni cineva din Banja Luka la simpozionul auste?

Bine că au ales Muzeul Mitropolitan, locul chiar se potrivește cu o astfel de temă biblică. Parastasul în Catedrala Veche mi se pare un gest frumos pentru Paul Miron, mai ales că se împlinește un centenar. Nu știu dacă vine cineva din Banja Luka, dar sper să fie și câțiva din diaspora română din Germania, că el a trăit mult acolo.

It's good that it's being held at the Metropolitan Museum, that place seems to have been tailored for such symposia. The vigil in the Old Cathedral after the tribute session seems to me the most appropriate gesture for Paul Miron, especially since it is the centenary. The Byzantion choir with Adrian Sîrbu at the end will be a beautiful crowning.

Bine că au ales Muzeul Mitropolitan, locul se potrivește perfect cu tema biblică. Parastasul în Catedrala Veche după sesiunea omagială mi se pare un gest frumos pentru Paul Miron, mai ales la centenar. Oare va cânta Corul Byzantion ceva anume la minirecital?
