ENTERTAINMENT 

GHIŢA TRÂMBIŢAŞ & ORCHESTRA
Renowned musician Gheorghe (Ghita) Trambitas and Orchestra will play a wide variety of traditional Romanian dance melodies. Familiar rhythms from Transilvania, Banat, Oltenia, Maramures, Moldova, etc will entertain you!

Pairing these popular sounds with American and European (modern) by their DJ will be sure to satisfy any member of the audience as they move on the dance floor!

If you are unfamiliar with some of the basic, traditional folk dances of Romania, we invite you to take a quick lesson from some of our dancing couples during the weekend and then join us for the "invertita", "hora" and more! 

NICOLETA PETRIN
Popular soloist Nicoleta Petrin (now living in Chicago) returns to Detroit and will enthrall the audience with popular songs from throughout the various provinces of Romania.

If you have a special request, be sure to let her know! We are sure that whether you are Romanian or not, Nicoleta's voice will find its way into your heart and lead you onto the dance floor!

"ROMÂNAŞUL" ENSEMBLE
Founded in 2005, Detroit's own "Romanasul" Ensemble will offer another of its popular performances during the festival. In the past, the group has performed original renditions of traditional village weddings, dances from various regions of Romania and more.

This year, Romanasul Ensemble is pleased to perform its rendition of MIORIŢA!

Recently, several younger members have brought new life this vibrant ensemble and we are sure that you will enjoy their performance. They are directed by (Diaconeasa) Ramona Pop. After their performance, join them on the dance floor or for a photo in their national costume!

More information on the group is available by calling the Cathedral Parish Office (248/569-4833).
