One of the best violinists in the world and concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam Vesko Eschkenazy is back home, in his native Sofia. The reason - the two closing concerts of the national tour of the project "In the World of Music" by Maestro Eshkenazy, virtuoso accordionist Veronika Todorova and the Pleven Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of George Miltiyadoff. On November 1, the musicians will perform on the stage of the Congress Center in Varna, and they will be in Sliven for a concert in the hall of the same name on November 7. The start of both concerts is at 7 p.m. Bulgarian time.
"We have been to places like Montana (Northwestern Bulgaria), for example, where last summer on a very hot day with 40 degrees outside, the hall had no air conditioning, and we did not expect anyone to come. The hall was filled with people and I was very surprised that I personally would not go in this heat. But in such places where people really have a huge thirst to hear something like this in Bulgaria, in small and large cities, I have noticed that when you present such a project, the halls are small for all those who want to to hear it. We were in Troyan last year and people lined up for hours before the concert. There are really no limits and when something is done with responsibility and you put all your energy into it, I think that then people naturally respond and want to hear it."
And the work of maestro Vesko Panteleev-Eshkenazy is at the world level. For a quarter of a century, he has been first violin in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, winning a competition for the position when he was only 29 years old. He declares with undisguised pride that the Bulgarian music school is one of the best in the world and there is no lack of talent in this country. That is why he is so often in his homeland and includes participation in projects such as "In the world of music" in his full calendar. And immediately after the concert with the Pleven Philharmonic in Sliven, our virtuoso violinist will return to Amsterdam, where he will start preparations with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra for a tour in the USA.
