In 2022 the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Orchestra celebrates its 70th anniversary. The double album which contains recordings of the past ten years and the concert which opens the 70th season of the orchestra are dedicated to this significant anniversary.
The event will take place on November 14 in Bulgaria Hall in Sofia. Some of Bulgaria's most famous folk singers and instrumentalists are taking part at the concert programme.
We have invited artists from different generations to participate at the concert including accordionist Petar Ralchev, singers Denislav Kehayov, Todor Kozhuharov, Tsvetanka Varimezova, Galina Dormushliyska, Darina Slavcheva, Neli Andreeva, Hristo Kosashki, Petya Andreeva, etc, says Dimitar Hristov, Principal Conductor of the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Orchestra, who has the difficult task to present the orchestra’s rich history in one evening.
“We make a colorful kaleidoscope of voices and music instruments and present a very colorful programme", maestro Hristov continues. "Soloists from all folklore fields and representatives of different generations are to sing at the concert. The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices choir is our special guest. 70 years ago, the Ensemble for Folk Songs and Dances was founded. It included the female folk choir which started its independent creative life in 1992. I selected the performers and the works with a sense of responsibility towards the authority of the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Orchestra. It is not easy to present a 70th anniversary- this is a very long history, a lifetime. I think that my colleagues from the orchestra and the whole team that is taking part in the preparation of the event, including producer Kristian Nedelchev, have done a good job. The audience will hear very beautiful pieces.”
Rhodope singer Dimitar Arnaudov is also among the participants. Recently, the young and talented musician made his first recordings with the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Orchestra. Next, we bring you the song “Pisvai-razpisvai” which will be performed during the festive evening.
