The world premiere of the first-ever concerto for violin, accordion and orchestra, composed by Minko Lambov, will take place on January 29 at the Central Military Club. It will start at 7:00 pm. 
The concerto, which is part of the Inspiration project, blends elements of Bulgarian folklore, jazz, classical music and tango. Bulgarian violinist Svetlin Roussev, accordionist Veronika Todorova and the Sofia Sinfonietta will take the stage. Svetlin Roussev will perform on the 1716 Stradivarius violin, loaned by the Bulgarian state for a period of five years. Part of the proceeds from the concert will go to the Kiril Lambov Foundation, established to support young talents.
