Part of the New European Music project, tonight’s concert at 7 PM at the BNR’s Studio No. 1 will present original music by composer, guitarist and music arranger Vladimir Nikolov from North Macedonia, who will this time be guest conductor.

Now, audiences in Bulgaria will be able to hear the music they make, live.
