The Caribrod Folk Orchestra will perform its concert premiere in the First Studio of the BNR on October 30, Monday, at 7:00 p.m. On the eve of the Day of the National Awakeners (November 1) and the Day of the Western Outlands (November 8), our compatriots from this region will perform a special concert in Sofia at the invitation of the Bulgarian National Radio.

The Caribrod Folk Orchestra was created in 2010 in Serbia's town of Caribrod (also Tsaribrod, alternatively Dimitrovgrad) by enthusiasts who have their own professions, but are united by their love of music. They perform old urban and folk music from Bulgaria and Serbia with the desire to preserve the traditional music of this part of the Balkans. 

The orchestra participates in the programs of the public Serbian Radio and Television (RTS). They are frequent guests at events dedicated to minority cultures, where they present the traditions of Bulgarians from Serbia.

In 2011, the Tsaribrod Folk Orchestra participated in the Pirin Folk festival in Bulgaria's Sandanski, where it won the Second Audience Award for its original song "Dear Sister, Stara Planino".

In 2019, in Recording Studio 2 of the Bulgarian National Radio, the Orchestra recorded its first album with ten songs, three of which are original.



Tickets are sold at the Advertising and Information Center of the BNR (4 Dragan Tsankov Blvd.) and in the Eventim network.
