2nd Spring Camp in Cluj fills the Cathedral
April 8-14, 2007
Music Camp International returned to Cluj, Romania for its second Spring camp. Nokia, whose Eastern European headquarters are located in Cluj, partnered with Music Camp International to provide this outstanding opportunity for the children in this major Romanian city. This year the concert was held in the Reformed cathedral in the old city. The excellent acoustics make this a frequent concert site for many performing groups. The cathedral was filled to capacity–with not even standing room available by the time the children began their concert.
