BULGARIA: First Ethno Jazz festival in Sofia
"From October 7 to October 19 the stage of Studio 5 in the Bulgarian capital hosts performances of musicians for whom music is a way of life. The idea for this ethno jazz festival came from Bobi Yotsov, a clarinet player, Atanas Yankulov – music editor and Hilda Kazasyan - jazz singer. Over the last 18 months they have been encouraging Bulgarian musicians to share freely their ideas on the stage of Studio 5. This event gives another opportunity for the realization of such music projects. The event was opened on October 7 with a concert of “Point of view orchestra”. This is a massive music project where 13 young musicians share similar views and ideas. We learn more about the program from Alexandra Dimitrova, who is one of the organizers of the event.
