 We have returned from our second musical pilgimage to Transylvania for the First Parish Choir and friends in 2007. The dates for this trip were August 7-20. While the core of this traveling group was the First Parish Adult Choir, some non-singers joined us.
The choir gave several concerts in Unitarian churches in various locations in Transylvania, and in the Czech Republic as well. The heart of our trip was several days spent in our partner church village of Szekelykeresztur. We sang at the Worldwide Unitarian Gathering in Szekelyfurdo. In addition to our time in Transylvania, we visited Budapest, and ended our trip in Prague.
For the details of our trip, please see our Itinerary Document (updated 7/31/2007).
For anyone intending to travel to Transylvania, a bit of Hungarian training makes for a richer experience. We've posted some useful resources for learning Hungarian on this site.
We have set up a Photo Gallery where travelers can post photos for general viewing. Several participants in our 2002 Choir Pilgrimage have shared their photos here on the First Parish Website. You can view photos from that trip here.
