Music by French and Spanish composers performed on four harps will be presented on 15 January at the National Art Gallery (NAG). The concert has been organized by the NAG in partnership with New Bulgarian University in Sofia. The proceeds from the event will be donated to the Municipality of Hitrino, the village that suffered devastation and fatalities last year caused by a blast of a cargo train.

Acclaimed harpist Prof. Susana Klincharova says she has willingly accepted the invitation for the charity event from the National Art Gallery CEO Slava Ivanova. Klincharova is harp professor at the Conservatoire de Neuilly in Paris. She is going to play together with three of her former students. Iliyana Selimska is member and soloist of the Bulgarian National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Vessela Trichkova holds the same job at the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra and Kohar Andonyan teaches harp at the National School of Music Lubomir Pipkov and is assistant of Prof. Klincharova in the master classes she gives at New Bulgarian University.

The four ladies have teamed up on several occasions in different formats- as a duo, trio or quartet. Some of the works they are going to present on Sunday are part of their repertoire; others have been commissioned for this particular concert. The composers selected by Prof. Susana Klincharova belong to different eras - from 17 to 21 c. They include Alphonse Hasselmansand Carlos Salzedorelated to the French culture, representatives of Romanticism in Spain, as well as Bulgarian Alexander Kandov, a contemporary composer who lives and works in Spain.
