In the year marking the 60th anniversary of the first concert of the Sofia Soloists Chamber Ensemble, the world-famous orchestra and its conductor Prof. Plamen Dzhurov have prepared a special concert repertoire that narrates the impressive history of the ensemble.
On February 23 at the Military Club in the capital Sofia, classical music lovers will be able to hear the Bulgarian premiere of the three-part Violin concerto by Naji Subhy Paul Irénée Hakim, written in 2002.
Naji Hakim is a Lebanese-French composer, organist, professor at the National Conservatory of Paris and Visiting Professor at the Royal Academy in London. He is the author of symphonic and choral music, as well as works for organ, including four concertos for organ and orchestra. His violin concerto will be performed for the first time in Bulgaria, thanks to the famous Bulgarian violinist Angelina Abadzheva, a soloist in the program of the Sofia Soloists.
Angelina Adadzhieva is the winner of a number of awards and is among the few Bulgarian winners of the Paganini award. In recent decades, she has been the concertmaster of several famous orchestras in Germany, including the West German Radio Symphony Orchestra of Cologne (WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln).
Angelina also continues her solo career. She says that she is looking forward to the concert on February 23 with great excitement, because she has not been on the same stage with the Sofia Soloists Ensemble for decades.
The program of the upcoming concert also includes the two-part Partita for a String Orchestra by the Bulgarian composer Prof. Mihail Pekov, author of over ten symphonies, instrumental concerts, 26 string quartets, solo works, chamber music for various ensembles, solo and choral songs, the opera "At the foot of Vitosha" and "Stabat Mater" for a mixed choir and a symphony orchestra.
