Union of the architects in Bulgaria
Sofia,11 Krakra Str.,
We are entering February in a dance rhythm with music performer by the Street Quartet – the string ensemble that demonstrated its mastery for the first time in one of our most unusual concerts – in an improvised park setting. Ivo Danailov, Veselin Dimitrov, Hristo Arolski and Petar Kushlev were also a part of our orchestra at the Andersen concert and will now act as storytellers of musical fairytales again – this time the tales will come from the Czech Republic.
The quartet’s musicians will present pearls from the output of one of the most celebrated Czech composers – Antonin Dvorak. Himself a violinist, Dvorak was almost forty when he achieved international fame. The piece that made him known outside Prague was his “Slavic dances” published upon the recommendation of Johannes Brahms. The prominent composer’s “Hungarian dances” were used as the model Dvorak used to compose his own work.

The quartet was founded in 2010. The four musicians are often performing on the street which gave them the idea to call themselves Street quartet. All of them are part of the New Symphony Orchestra, where they initially met each other. Hristo and Ivo are members of the Bulgarian National Radio Symphony orchestra, Vesko works at the Musical Theater’s orchestra and Pepi – at the Blagoevgrad Philharmony. The Street quartet has participated in a number of different projects – from performing at various musical formats, through playing on the street, cocktail and wedding music to serious classical concerts in Sofia and throughout Bulgaria.
