A concert by Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra with conductor Nayden Todorov and soloist - virtuoso Bulgarian percussionist Vivi Vassileva, will be held on March 19 in Bulgaria Hall. A powerful dialogue between percussion instruments and the orchestra, as well as between ancient legends and contemporary vibrations is coming, the Philharmonic Orchestra announced.

Vivi, who is the sister of famous violinist Vasko Vassilev, will present "Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra" by Danny Elfman. The concert is like a philosophical interaction between tradition and improvisation - cultures and rhythms that collide, mix and embrace. The second part of the evening is dedicated to the eternal beauty of the Symphonic Suite "Scheherazade" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
