On March 31 we will listen to Maria Martinova /piano/ and Cyril Garak /violin/ with a program of works by Lyubomir Denev, Miroslav Danev, Gustavo Beytelmann and others.
A series of national and international institutions support the ppIANISSIMO cause – the ministry of culture, the Sofia Municipality, several countries’ embassies, the Hungarian Cultural Institute etc., Ilia Gramatikov says and adds:
“We will unveil the festival with selected performers from last year’s edition. Anna Christenson /piano/ and Annastina Malam /mezzosoprano/ have prepared an interesting conceptual program, presenting Swedish composers. They will also perform three songs of Borislava Taneva (world premiere). The concert of really talented in interpretations Gabor Chalog from Hungary will be on March 25 and he will present 20th century’s classics from his country. The man participated in ppIANISSIMO 2013. He will also have a master class at the music academy in Sofia. The works he will present have been composed for the 20th anniversary exclusively. I would also like to highlight the concert of Magdalena Lisa on April 1 – she will perform this colorful panorama of contemporary Polish music over the past few decades. This concert is supported by the Polish Cultural Institute. Dutch star Ralph van Raat will attend the third week of the event. Ambassador of Holland to Bulgaria will be the patron of the concert. Mr. Van Raat will be accompanied by Kamelia Miladinova who has been living and working in Holland for years. The two will present piano plays with interesting choreography. The marvelous ladies of the Absolut Trio from Switzerland have also prepared works which are different in their character and seizing a broad range of genres and styles from the 20th and 21st centuries."
