The famous Bulgarian violinist Vasko Vassilev is the concertmaster of the Coronation Orchestra of King Charles III

"The feeling is very strange. We watch movies, operas, historical dramas. And here we are in the action itself. We're in the air where the organist is playing - organists are great, I've never seen anything like it! Underneath there's a children's choir singing stunningly beautifully, military bands. I've never heard anything like it," the violinist told BNT before the event. A "once in a lifetime adventure..." - that's what Vasko Vassilev wrote on his facebook page.
The Coronation Orchestra is the special orchestra that brings together elite performers from all the UK's orchestras.
