The 10th edition of the International Guitar Festival opened in Pleven on Thursday with the Acoustic Queen project and performances by young guitarists.
The highlight of the evening was the Acoustic Queen project with the participation of Slavcho Nikolov, Dobrin "Doni" Vekhilov and Venko Poromanski (all from The Foundation), as well as Slavin Slavchev and Mihail Shishkov Jr. Together they performed some of Queen's most famous songs.
Performances also included the Guitar Student Ensemble of the Pleven National School of Arts, as well as Borislav Kovachev, Ralitsa Haidarska and Katerina Vachkova, who are winners of the ninth edition of the festival.
The festival was opened by Pleven Deputy Mayor Elina Dimitrova, together with Dimo Deshev, chair of the Municipal Council's Culture Committee, and the creative director of the event, Nikolay Mihailov. "I am glad that this prestigious event is being held once again in Pleven and has become one of the musical emblems of our city, a cultural space for meetings of performers, educators, artists and friends of music," said Dimitrova.
"For me, as a teacher, one of the best things is the preservation of Bulgarian education and culture, and I believe that this is the duty of society. In this sense, I believe that the festival is essential to this preservation," said Mihailov.
The International Guitar Festival is organized by the LIK-1959 community center, Pleven Municipality and the Art Close to Me Association, and is supported by the Culture Ministry.
