In 2018, Acoustic Version celebrate 33 years since their foundation. To mark the occasion, they will give a concert on 17 January in Studio 5 of the National Palace of Culture.

Acoustic Version, founded in 1985, is the brainchild of pianist Antoni Donchev and drummer Hristo Yotsov. Later, in 1989, they were joined by George Donchev. The duo was off to a flying start, winning awards at two major jazz festivals – in Hoeilaart, Belgium and Leverkusen, Germany.

For Antoni Donchev and Hristo Yotsov, being a musician runs in the family. Their partnership on stage actually goes back to their school days. The two have a solid classical music education. They are familiar to the public from many projects in different genres and with different performers. They are now among the most famous names in Bulgarian music. Antoni Donchev is conductor of the Bulgarian National Radio Big Band, and Hristo Yotsov is a professor at the Pancho Vladigerov National Academy of Music. Since the very start, Acoustic Version have only performed their own original music, and it will be the focus of the concert on 17 January.
