Union of the architects in Bulgaria
Sofia,11 Krakra Str.,
As the final concert for this season, the Hungarian one will focus on our audience’s most favourite thing – the dances. We are starting with a Jewish dance by the Hungarian Béla Kovács where the clarinet will demonstrate its unlimited ability to calm down to the quietest dynamics and to greatly excite like a full orchestra. As a soloist we will hear this instrument’s master, Yavor Dobrev, already familiar to our audience as a member of the Windy quintet. For the eager little feet we have prepared several Hungarian dances by the German Johannes Brahms, as well as the Romanian Folk Dances by another remarkable Hungarian – Bela Bartok.
Apart from Yavor, we will also hear the boys from the Street quartet who recently brought to us the Czech music during the Dvorak Pillow Concert. Ivo, Vesko, Hristo and Pepi are at perfect ease with their violins, viola and cello. After the concert, they will show their most passionate and curious admirers what a challenge it is to master a string instrument. Veneta Neynska will join the predominantly male company on the piano, at the programme’s key moments.
