Marston Exploration Theater, ASU Tempe Campus Dear friends, Considering the legitimate public concerns raised by the novel coronavirus, following the recommendations from public health agencies and experts, and out of an abundance of caution, Arizona ARCC Board of Directors decided to postpone the first edition of the Arizona Romanian Film Festival.

The Arizona American-Romanian Cultural Collaborative (ARCC) started in 2019 from a desire to showcase and promote the Romanian culture in the communities where its founders and fellow Romanians live and work. This desire emerged from the strong confidence – reinforced by the worldwide recognition of Romanian arts – that the culture of Romania can constitute an inspiring and powerful presence in Arizona, one of the most diverse states in the US. The approximately 85,000 ethnic Romanian who nowadays call the Grand Canyon State home come from a beautiful country, with a lively and influential culture. Arizona ARCC wishes to feature Romanian culture and the variety of its art forms, from theater, literature and visual arts to traditional crafts, food, music, photography, and more.

When Fanfare Cicarlia, the twelve-piece brass orchestra from the "hidden village of Zece Parjini in northeastern Romania, takes the stage, the crowd receives 100 percent Gipsy music. The band, whose name translates as "lark's song", conquered Europe in 1997, their furious live blast appealing to punks and headbangers, jazz and funk fans, world music aficionados, and anyone who loves music that sound unique. The Romanians' breakneck speed, technical chops, ripping rhythms and sweet and sour horns make them stand out from any other brass band on earth.

Dear Romanian friends, We, Riznica Chamber Choir, are very glad to invite you to come to our concerts and to support us in our project what is an evening of Balkan music, predominantly Romanian. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, the Riznica Chamber Choir was formed with the intention of performing Serbian, Balkan and other Slavic choral music. Riznica (read it as Reez'-ni-tza) translates to Treasure Chest. The group's mission is to preserve the very rich heritage of music and language of these areas, much as a treasure chest holds things of a great value. Although we sang on our previous concerts a Romanian song, this is the first time of almost the whole evening of Romanian music. We are singing, for example: Cantec de pace, Ziua ninge, Fata de pastor, Sarba pe scaun, Vine hulpe di la munte, Ma luai, luai, Three Secular Christmas Carols from Transylvania, Pastorita and others. After four years of our existence and performing music from different area of Balkans and Russia, we met so many friends from different ethnic areas (Serbs, Macedonians, Russians, and others) but we do not have so many Romanian friends and we would really like to make a better connection. Therefore, we feel that support from your parish and from original Romanian people will be precious to us. We are having 2 concerts, one on Sunday October 28th 2012 3pm in First United Methodist Church in Phoenix, and one on Friday November 9th 2012 7pm in Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Phoenix. A flyer is attached with more information. Both concerts are free admission for public. We will be gladly accepting donation for maintaining the existence of this unique choir, if someone feels to offer. More information about the choir and event is on www.riznica.org. We will appreciate very much if you spread a word about this event and if we meet Romanian people in the audience, so we connect through this beautiful music. Thanks a lot! Looking forward to seeing you! Riznica Chamber Choir
