Since 2018, the Radio Children's Choir is led by the young conductor Rzvan Rdos who confesses that he wants to continue the tradition created by the conductor Voicu Popescu, to perform thematic concerts every year. My young colleagues really like it, says the current choir conductor, even if the work rhythm is dizzying. Alternating events with modern repertoires (film music, jazz processing, pop, rock) with cult music programs (romantic, classical,preclassical) we believe can bring choral art to the attention of young audiences.We are currently preparing an online program for a CD dedicated to children and we aim to - after the pandemic - to hold as many educational events as possible at the Radio Hall. And we hope to be able to arrive in September 2021 in Germany where we are invited to an important festival dedicated to youth choirs, says Rzvan Rdos, who agreed to reveal some of his projects with the Radio Children's Choir.
