The magical stage of Solinaria in Sozopol will gather talented musicians in July

The fourth edition of the youth art festival “Solinaria” will be held from July 2 to 13 in Sozopol.

In 2024, there will be two master classes – in piano and chamber music by Prof. Borislava Taneva and Dr. Elena Cholakova, as well as violin – by Angelina Abadjieva. The interest is serious and the groups for the master classes are almost full.

The program in this edition will be 6 days long, and both talented performers and established names will appear on the magical stage of “Solinaria”. The project was implemented with the financial support of the National Culture Fund.

“Solinaria” is a cultural platform stimulating the development of young talents. On a global scale, the demand for such formats is strong, considering that the sense of communication in modern children is highly developed and placed in completely new conditions.

The program includes a recital by the piano duo “Atmospheres”, in which the young Bulgarian pianists Alexandra Dicheva and Mila Mihova – both full-time doctoral students at the NMA “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov”.

On the third festival evening, Kristin Hristov – tenor and Viktor Kostov – piano will be on the stage of the Youth Art Festival “Solinaria”. The diverse program of the extremely charismatic musicians is a guarantor of the interest that their appearance will cause.
