On March 11, the Bulgarian National Radio Symphony Orchestra is to give another concert in Bulgaria Hall in Sofia. Violinist Liya Petrova will be a soloist in a Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by British composer William Walton, as planned in the beginning of the concert season.
The rest of the programme has undergone some changes. Instead of Symphony No 2 by Johannes Brahms, the orchestra will perform the symphonic overture “The Storm” by Tchaikovsky and “Quiet Music” by Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov.
The concert is dedicated to the victims of the war in Ukraine, conductor Mark Kadin said in an interview for the BNR.
The songs were not selected accidentally. Tchaikovsky wrote his overture “The Storm” in 1864, during his visit at the family estate of Prince Aleksey Golitsyn in Trostinets, near Kharkiv in Ukraine. The piece “Quiet Music” will be performed at the end of the concert. The concert is in memory of the victims of the two countries, Maestro Kadin noted.
“When you are dead, it does not matter what type of passport you have in your pocket. The horror in Ukraine is unjustified- no ambitions, geopolitics or global ideas can be a reason for a war in 2022”, Mark Kadin, who was born in Donbas, said. He lived in Donbas when he was a little child and then moved to Moscow. Kadin has been conducting the BNR Symphony Orchestra since 2017.
