A Spring Quintet for Wooden Wind Instruments is becoming a must in the curriculum of the most renowned music university in the United States, namely The Juilliard School in New York. This became known from a post of Roumen Boyadjieff-junior on social networks.

The premiere of "Spring Quintet" in front of the Bulgarian audience took place in 2018. In it, the composer in a sense continues the traditions of the Bulgarian school of composers using melodic and metrorhythmic material based on Bulgarian folklore, using the peculiarities of musical instruments involved in the quintet.

The addition of the work to the compulsory program of one of the most renowned music universities in the world is another recognition of the talent of the Bulgarian composer born in 1979. In 2021, the overture to the children's opera "The Ice Queen" by Roumen Boyadjieff-Jr. ‎was awarded at the International Film Music Competition NGC LAB.
