The Bulgarian National Radio Children‘s Choir and its Chief Conductor Venetsiya Karamanova have prepared a traditional Christmas concert. At 7 p.m on December 21, in Hall 3 of the National Palace of Culture, the BNR Children’s Choir is to perform favorite songs from around the world that will warm our hearts in anticipation of the coming holidays. The concert is named "S Chervenite Botushki/With the Red Boots", because this song (music- maestro Hristo Nedyalkov) is the symbol of childhood and the happy moment of the holiday for many Bulgarian children and grown-up children.
Traditionally, the BNR Children's Choir supports its choristers who have taken the great path of opera by providing them with a stage and backing their talent. The former choristers Ekaterina Kircheva and Svilen Denchev, now students at the National Academy of Music "Professor Pancho Vladigerov’’, will be guest soloists at the concert.The message the BNR Children's Choir sends with this concert is in the spirit of the upcoming holidays:
"We believe that our holiday concert will take us all into the magical space of Christmas - where we hear the magic bell, our prayer overflows with faith, Santa’s reindeer gallop, carolers sing and tap their sticks (gegas), and the Good Old Man has prepared everything that is truly desired."
One of the pieces included in the concert programme is "Winter Song". The music is by Hristo Nedyalkov and the lyrics are by Dimitar Spasov.
