Petya Papazova's Painting Exhibition Lyrical
Petya Papazova is one of the most recognizable and very popular contemporary Bulgarian artists. She is in the first line of artists-poets in painting. Impressive color combined with soft drawing and glowing light takes us into the dream romantic world of every sensual, seeking and inspiring woman surrounded by the not so perfect and even harsh contemporary environment. It seems that a quiet and relaxing music harmonized with the subtle vibrations of the universe sounds from Petya's paintings.
The exhibition will open on June 11th at 6 pm at Art Gallery SIGNA and will be held until July 9.

Symphonic concert-spectacle The Dream of Pilate
Pilate's Dream is a new musical work for a symphony orchestra and choir created by the famous composer of pop and film music, Stefan Dimitrov, inspired by The Master and Margarita of Mikhail Bulgakov. The work, under the leadership of Lyubka Biagioni, and with the participation of Sofia Symphonics Orchestra will be presented for the first time during the Bulgarian presidency of the Council of Europe.
The headlines of the three acts - Aeternitas, Lux Aeterna, and Misericordia Pro Nobis - appeal to associations with other literary classics such as Milton's Paradise Lost, for example, and place the work in the context of the European music heritage. But Dimitrov's music is more than that - it brilliantly translates Bulgakov's spiritual vision into the language of our modern world and gives a fresh, melodic interpretation of the various ideas of good and evil, light and darkness, and the roots of these forces. In his music, Stefan Dimitrov calls the listener to discover the spiritual within themselves, worshiping the invisible forces governing the human life. The project has a distinctly classic sense and structure, but its sound is modern and easy to fit within the market principles of our society. A musical project can be avant-garde and accessible to the general public when it is created by one of the most productive and multi-layered Bulgarian composers.
