Christmas would not be the same without the voice that, for over three decades, has become the soul of Romanian carols—Stefan Hrusca. This year, the artist returns to the stage with a recital of carols meant to bring us closer to the essence of the holiday and the unaltered beauty of traditions. For Hrusca, each carol is more than a song: it is a sung prayer, a window open to the peace and faith of our ancestors. In his voice, we find the emotion of childhood, the joy of reuniting with loved ones, and the light that transforms the holiday into a true mystery. This year's recital program features a selection of carols with an archaic flavor, as well as beloved songs that have become a staple in Romanian homes around Christmas. With each note, the artist manages to create that unique atmosphere in which time seems to stand still and hearts open to kindness and communion. Stefan Hrusca's warm and powerful voice remains the bridge that connects generations and places, carrying on the tradition of Christmas carols as a gift and a blessing. Whether you are at home or far away, his concert becomes an opportunity to feel that the light of Christmas shines just as brightly in every soul. We look forward to seeing you again this year to let yourself be carried away by the magic of carols and experience, together with Stefan Hrusca, the joy of an authentic Christmas.
