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."
