The two concerts in Paris, which took place a few days ago, were organized on the occasion of the Bulgarian National Day on March 3rd by two associations for Bulgarian-French cultural exchange – the art gallery “Constantin” under the direction of Bulgarian doctors Dr. Konstantin Nikolow and his wife Dr. Elena Radeva-Nikolova and the “Artavenir” association headed by Jordanka Kostadinova.
The concert “Secrets from distant times” in the church “Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia” in the French capital presented fifteen works of Church Slavonic music by Bulgarian and Russian composers.

“I am extremely pleased that we had the opportunity to present to the French audience some of the choral works of Bulgarian authors as well as my work as a long-time conductor of this choir,” said Prof. Burajiev, director and conductor of the oldest student choir in Bulgaria.
As a wonderful example of the mastery of the Academic Folk Choir, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, we offer you one of the last studio recordings of the ensemble under the direction of Kostadin Buradzhiev – the folk song “Lalitsa is late”” in the arrangement by Kiril Stefanow, soloist is Janitsa Stamenova.
