Featuring works by Pancho Vladigerov, Dobri Hristov, and Georgi Zlatev-Cherkin, this programme weaves folk melodies with classical elegance and flashes of jazz colour. Performed for voice, violin and piano, this is a rare chance to experience the rich rhythms, passion and unmistakable character of Bulgarian music-brought to life for a British audience.
