Biography
TRONOS Psaltic Group was founded in 1997, on initiative of Archdeacon Mihail Bucă, protopsaltis of the Patriarchal Cathedral of Bucharest, and is formed especially of young theologians keen on byzantine psaltic music. The group was named “Tronos” by His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel in 2007.
Thus, TRONOS Choir was formed at the lectern of the Patriarchal Cathedral, around Father Protopsaltis MihailBucă. The holy services, participations in various church events, concerts, numerous practices and audio recordings were occasions for the group’s members to discover and fathom even more the psaltic chanting – traditional music of the Orthodox Church. All these efforts have already led to emulations from other youngsters and psaltic music groups all around the country. For this reason, it can be stated that TRONOS Psaltic Group, through its diverse activity, has contributed significantly in the perpetuation of the Romanian church music tradition.
For TRONOS Choir members, the attention for the accuracy of the scores’ performance is dubled by the love and respect they all hold for the message of the liturgical text, thus showing that the melody serves the words and the prayer.
Especially during the last seven years, the Group of Psaltes of the Patriarchal Cathedral has held many byzantine music concerts both in Romania and abroad and has recorded several CDs, thus becoming famous both in Romania and beyond its borders.
TRONOS Psaltic Group was awarded the Order Sanctus Stephanus Magnusby His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel, in December 2013, for its entire activity over time.
