The program “Chopin – Rimsky-Korsakov”, conducted by conductor Nayden Todorov - Music Director of the Bulgarian National Opera, and led by concertmaster Chuong Vu, will perform classic works by two master composers in the history of Western music - Chopin and Rimsky-Korsakov.

In the first part of the program, the audience will be immersed in the profound, delicate and emotional musical world of Frederic Chopin through two piano concertos – “Concerto No. 1 in E minor, op.11” and “Concerto No. 2 in F minor, op.21”. Written when Chopin was only in his twenties, both works are the fullest expression of his romantic musical language – aesthetic, passionate and lyrical.

Two young pianists Nguyen Duc Kien and Luu Danh Khoi will perform two concertos with fresh and powerful interpretations.

The second part of the program will bring the audience one of the most brilliant masterpieces of Russian nationalism - “Capriccio Espagnol, op.34” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The work is a synthesis of rich symphonic colors and inspiration from Spanish folk music, and at the same time an opportunity for the orchestra to show off its virtuosity through each movement filled with performance and festive spirit.
