The choir's early years were marked by a dedication to the performance of traditional Romanian folk music, as well as classical choral works. Under Trailescu's leadership, the choir quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional musicianship and technical skill, and began to attract attention from audiences and critics alike. In the years that followed, the Cluj-Napoca Choir continued to grow and evolve, expanding its repertoire to include a wide range of choral works from across the classical canon. The choir's performances were marked by a deep commitment to musical excellence, as well as a passion for exploring the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the music they performed.

In addition to its many performances, the Cluj-Napoca Choir has also been the recipient of numerous awards and honors over the years.
