At a press conference before the concert, the head of the Bulgarian National Radio, Alexander Velev (center), said that such a highly respected professional had been attracted with expectations that he would bring a new spirit and new ways of working in the Снимкаsymphony orchestra. The 52-year-old Russian maestro has been a guest to the radio orchestra many times since 2003.
