Vasko Vassilev will be the concertmaster of the orchestra for the coronation of King Charles, reports the team of the famous Bulgarian violinist.
The event is on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, where coronations have been held since 1066.
The Coronation Orchestra is the name of the special orchestra which will bring together musicians from all the orchestras in the UK. It has been confirmed that the concert will be conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano.
“It is a great privilege and honor for me to receive this invitation and to be part of the historic event. The King has for years supported musicians in the United Kingdom and in particular the Royal Opera House, so I accept this commitment with great responsibility, great excitement and undisguised pleasure.” , says Vasko Vassilev.
The specific composition of the Coronation Orchestra, as well as the repertoire, are yet to be specified, informs BTA.
At the end of May, Vasko Vassilev arrived in Bulgaria for a tour of the country. 14 Bulgarian cities will welcome his violin together with the guitar of Carlos Jave from Seville, the percussion of Juan Heredia from Malaga and the bandoneon of Gilberto Pereira from Argentina.
