As Veles Ensemble steps into an exciting new chapter with our current lineup—welcoming our wonderful new violinist, Barbara Toth—we want to take a moment to look back and say a heartfelt thank you to our dear former member, Adriana Cristea.

Adriana brought so much artistry, expressive playing, and thoughtful musicianship to the Veles Ensemble during her time with us. From shared rehearsal breakthroughs to memorable concert moments on stage, her dedication helped shape the sound and spirit of our trio.

While we are thrilled to welcome Barbara and embrace the fresh energy and repertoire of our current configuration, we didn’t want Adriana’s wonderful contribution to slip away into the background. To keep our main gallery space fresh and up-to-date with our new line-up, we have moved our archive of photos featuring Adriana right here to this dedicated post.

Please join us in sending our warmest thanks and best wishes to Adriana for all her future musical adventures!
