The Orchestra of the State Opera Stara Zagora and the remarkable young soloists-graduates of the NUMSI "Hristina Morfova" invite you to a concert on the occasion of the patronal feast of the school - on 30 April at 7 pm at the Opera House.

Conductor of this concert for the first time is the chief conductor of the State Opera Stara Zagora Maestro Georgi Dimitrov. The concertmaster is Paulina Koleva, a graduate of the Music School.

In the orchestra is also Bozhidar Rahnev /violin/, a student of the National Music School "Christina Morfova".

"The concert programme is in two parts. All the soloists are very talented. From the bottom of my heart I wish them to continue their development as musicians and to come back to Stara Zagora and work in the Opera Orchestra" - said Maestro Georgi Dimitrov. He personally auditioned the soloists and composed the concert programme, and rehearsals with the orchestra began on Friday last week. On Wednesday /at 10.30 am/ and Thursday /at 10 am/ are the dress rehearsals with the orchestra and soloists on stage.

The concert will feature a total of 13 students from the NUMCI "Christina Morfove" - trumpet trio "Svilena" / Zdravka Vassileva, Kremena Dimitrova, Simona Mavrodieva /, Stefan Lyudov - oboe, Marian Bozhidarov / clarinet /, Simon Pavlov, Georgi Belchev, Andrey Andreev - piano, Bozhidar Rahnev - violin and others.

In the archives of the town is preserved the "Regulations" of 11 December 1897 of the first music school in the country, established by the local society "Kaval". Its founders were the champions of musical Stara Zagora - Petko Ikonomov, Georgi Baidanov and the graduate of composition in the Prague Conservatory Dimitar Hadjigeorgiev. This school lasted only a few years, but the spark was lit.

On September 1, 1974, by order D-3 626 of May 8, 1974 of the Ministry of Education, a Music School was opened in the town. In the school year 2001 / 2002 the specialty of classical singing was restored. In the same year, a new specialty, classical dance, was opened. In 2004, another new specialty was introduced - acting for drama theatre - under a project approved by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education, and in 2008 - pop and jazz singing. In October 2006 the school was renamed the National School of Music and Performing Arts.
