Singing Christmas carols, the «colinde», is an important component of Rumanian Christmas celebrations. The noun «colindă» (Christmas carol) gave rise to the verb «a colinda», which originally meant to scour a district and ramble about. The colinde are sung out on the streets, on Christmas Eve, in front of people's windows until the singers, often children, are invited into the house and given refreshments. The Accoustic Chamber Choir has gathered the best singers from a number of Rumanian choirs and developed its own profi le over a number of years. During the fi nal concert the Accoustic Chamber Choir will present secular and spiritual music.
