Conductor Valery Gergiev – one of the most influential musicians of our time – has joined the initiative for building a new music complex in this country.
The benefit concert is at 8.30 PM tonight, September 10. Soloists from the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra, alongside musicians from the Sofia Philharmonic, will be performing tonight on the stage of “Bulgaria” hall under the baton of Valery Gergiev. The programme features works by Prokofiev, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky. The seating space in “Bulgaria” hall is in compliance with the anti-epidemic measures in place in the country.
