At the Bulgarian Consulate General in New York, Ted Popoff met with Bulgarians living in the city and told them the story of his life spanning 9 decades – his immigration to the US in the 1970s, his work on the foundations of the World Trade Centre after 9/11, and his work as an engineer around the world.
“The Bulgarian concert evenings in New York, the American Foundation for Bulgaria, the Consulate General in New York and dozens of classical music lovers celebrated, with a concert, Ted Popoff’s contribution to the presentation of Bulgarian culture and Bulgaria’s musicians in New York,” the Bulgarian Consulate General wrote on Facebook.
Love of classical music has marked Ted Popoff’s entire life, from his very first violin lessons as a child in the late 1930s, through the sadness of his broken violin while a conscript in the army in the 1950s, to his work as a volunteer at the music centre in Massachusetts in the 1990s.
