The brilliant German trombonist Carla Köllner will for the first time perform with the Bulgarian National Radio Big Band in the final concert of the season - on 27 June at 7 pm in the First Studio of the Bulgarian National Radio under the baton of Antoni Donchev, conductor of the BNR's Big Band.

Presenting new European music for big bands is a trademark of maestro Antoni Donchev who this time will lead the audience on an exciting journey into the music of Carla Köllner. 

Antoni Donchev

In December 2021, Carla Köllner presented her all original program for Big Band performed by the Jazz Orchestra of Essen, Germany.
