/ world today news/ In a series, we meet you with the new winners of awards in the national survey “Musician of the Year 2017” of the classical music show “Allegro Vivace” on the “Horizon” program. The award ceremony took place on May 7, 2018 in the First Studio of the BNR.
In 2008, Zefira Valova was among the nominees in the “Allegro Vivace” poll for “Young Musician of the Year”. Then, in 2010, she accepted the award for “Musical Project of the Year” as the founder and artistic director of the Art of the Baroque festival. Thanks to her, we welcome famous performers of ancient music to Bulgaria.
Meanwhile, our most valued baroque violinist added more important touches to her creative biography. Her active activity in 2017 took her to the world stages as concertmaster of the famous ensemble ‘Il pomo d’oro’ in the tours of opera stars Joyce DiDonato and Franco Fagioli, with whom she also recorded CDs that gained immense popularity. Here, in our country, her successful partnership with the Sofia Philharmonic began in an entire baroque concert cycle, in which she is a soloist and conductor, and we cannot fail to note her pioneering activity as a teacher of baroque music at the National Academy of Music “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov”.
