Photo exhibition Street Stories

At the Street Stories photo exhibition of the young Plovdiv photographer Alexander Karamfilov, we will see the black and white work of a Plovdiver who, with a melancholic or playful wink, suggests that the world in which we live in, especially the street, is not only gray, but you can also find the colorful in it as long as you open your eyes wide.

Multilingual cultural and musical program

At the initiative of the Bulgarian-Turkish Literary Club a holiday with a multilingual cultural and musical program will be held, which will involve representatives of different communities in the city and foreign students from Plovdiv higher schools. They will read an excerpt from the Exupéry story tale, published for the first time 75 years ago. The famous work is translated into 210 languages, and that is why the organizers choose it. The event is under the patronage of District Governor Zdravko Dimitrov and the Consul General of the Republic of Turkey in Plovdiv Hussein Ergani. The idea of the celebration is to emphasize the deserved role of all languages in building cultural identity and creativity. Participants will present traditional music and dancing for their country.

Jazztory Phineas Newborn

Phineas Newborn is one of the most brilliant, but unfortunately, one of the most underestimated jazz pianists. His career fails to reach the heights he deserves. Jazz critics ruin him, writing that his style is superficial, but the musicians know very well that this is a lie. It hurts him emotionally and worsens his health, which stops him from creating and leaving enough musical heritage. Still, he has great records that show he was an exceptional improviser.

Jazztory want to show us those people in the history of jazz, not just those whose lives have been filled with glamor and glory. The art of Phineas will be presented by the talented Bulgarian pianist Theodor Petkov, who has long appreciated Phineas and has fallen in love with his virtuoso and yet fine and elegant style.
