At Avenor, the Parents\u2019 Choir has become more than just a musical project \u2013 it\u2019s a celebration of community, passion, and the joy of singing together.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What began as a modest initiative with just a few members has grown spectacularly, bringing together over 30 parents who, with their energy and enthusiasm, turn every rehearsal and event into a special moment.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Find out from Ioana Gafencu – teacher of music and the initiator of this project, how this success story came to life within our community.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Eight years ago, when I joined Avenor, I was thrilled to discover the Teachers\u2019 Choir, a group of passionate colleagues who enjoy singing together. It\u2019s not about singing professionally\u2014that\u2019s not the goal. It\u2019s about the joy of singing together and bringing happiness to those around us. Beyond the enthusiasm of the choir members, the excitement of students when they see their teachers perform is immense. They are always delighted to participate in the artistic moments prepared by teachers for special occasions\u2014like Romania\u2019s National Day, Christmas, or Cultural Celebration Day\u2014when our community comes together.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For me, this project was a perfect fit. I am, at my core, a pianist. I graduated from the Bucharest Conservatory, majoring in Musical Performance, Piano. Since entering George Enescu Music High School in 9th grade, I\u2019ve been involved in choir singing, and my passion for it has only grown since. Singing in a choir brings me immense satisfaction. That\u2019s why one of my dreams has always been to lead and sing alongside a choir. It\u2019s my way of sharing the joy of music with those around me.<\/span><\/p>\n

The children\u2019s choir\u2014Just Sing\u2014was the first choir I directed at Avenor. Being part of such a connected community, the idea of forming a Parents\u2019 Choir came naturally about two years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

I launched this project with great emotion, sending an invitation to all parents in our community. The only requirement was a passion for music. I wasn\u2019t looking for professionals or specialists, just the joy of singing and spreading that joy through music.<\/span><\/p>\n

To my delight, many parents responded positively to my invitation, and I quickly realized how much a project like this was needed and how beneficial it is for both the choir members and their audiences. Music is a form of therapy that shows its effects every Monday morning when the Parents\u2019 Choir meets for rehearsal. Monday mornings have become a small celebration of singing, positive energy, and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n

What started with just over 10 participants has grown to over 30 members. Initially, we timidly prepared one or two songs, but now we\u2019ve become a true force with a full schedule and a rich repertoire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I must admit that the enthusiastic reception of our performances by the entire community\u2014students, parents, and teachers\u2014has greatly contributed to this evolution. As a conductor, it\u2019s fantastic to witness the growth of this project so dear to me and the dynamic development of our choir during both rehearsals and performances.<\/span><\/p>\n

We sing with joy at every community event, and, because I dream big, I aim to take Avenor choirs beyond our campus. After the extraordinary experience with Just Sing at the Musica Orbis Festival in Prague in summer 2024, where we participated in a choir competition, it\u2019s now the Parents\u2019 Choir\u2019s turn to make its voice heard beyond the school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poveste de Cr\u0103ciun\u00a0 Charity Concert, an initiative born from an invitation by Father Francisc Dobo\u0219, a dear friend of our community, offers us the perfect opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this concert, aimed at supporting a humanitarian cause organized by the Roman Catholic Church of Sacre-Coeur, the students from Just Sing and the parents from the Parents\u2019 Choir, alongside a special guest\u2014Nicholas Lupu, a professional opera singer, actor, and trainer with experience in various artistic fields\u2014will perform on December 14 for an audience eager to experience moments of joy and emotion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond this major event, we will carol throughout December on various occasions\u2014at the Winter Shows, the Christmas Fair, and during our alumni\u2019s homecoming\u2014spreading the joy of singing to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to thank all the members of the Parents\u2019 Choir for their energy, enthusiasm, and the magic this project brings to our community.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
