In 2025, the inspiring music journey we began in 2021 comes to its end with the premiere of the second LP album in the project: “Christmas Brass & Vocal Jazz: Aurora Borealis”. During the past 5 years, our journey through Northern […]

November is the month when we continue our music journey to Northern Europe in "Christmas Brass & Vocal Jazz" that we began in 2021. As our audience already knows, we dedicate this project to the most beautiful mediaeval songs from Scandinavia, Germany, and the Netherlands, in new, bright arrangements for 5 trombones and 5 special […]

Nowadays our new guest serves as a trombone player at the Vratsa Symphony Orchestra - a short (or not that short) adventure in his European career. I must confess: The first time when I saw him on stage my impression was of too much French influence for my taste. Almost 2 years later in March […]

Аt the end of March 2024, Sweden became the next of the Scandinavian countries included in the Brass Perspectives Association BG international programme. Just a week before we celebrate the third anniversary of our organisation, Swedish trombonist and arranger Lars Karlin, who has been the principal trombone of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra - the […]

The trombone guest-teachers in the international masterclasses, organised by the Brass  Perspectives Association BG, are an impressive constellation of performing artists with a strong personality: from the visit of Branimir Slokar and Slokar Quartet in 2019 through the events feat. György Gyivicsan in 2021 and 2023, Remko de Jager in 2022  to Lars Karlin, whose […]

My creative journey over the years has repeatedly intersected with that of our new guest in Brass Stories. Composer Stefan Dragostinov has been one of the most colorful figures in Bulgarian musical culture over the past 3 to 4 decades. He is the author of a piano concerto, a concerto for the exotic instrument bass […]

One of the most significant figures in the history of Bulgarian music once again leads us to the immense influence that Czech professional musicians have had on the establishment and development of our national brass instrument school: Karel Starý. His name is mentioned with respect and affection by his former colleagues and students, whom we […]

On this extraordinary day, which occurs once every four years, we embark on a journey back to the most beautiful times of jazz, with that sparkle and elegance we primarily associate with Glenn Miller, his Orchestra, and the magnificent American brass musicians from the 1940s to the 1960s. However, instead of heading to the USA, […]

In Brass Stories project we travel back in time to explore a crucial aspect at the foundation of the Bulgarian brass instrument school, which adds a special charm to its beginning and development from the end of the 19th century to the establishment of the brass instrument school in Bulgaria (mid-20th century): the Czech military […]

The opportunities of exchange of classical and contemporary musicians from around the world are among the most interesting aspects of the 21st century’s globalisation. It's a little bit sad that our BG colleagues often forget that this is an exchange in both directions. Since 2018 the opera’s and philharmonic orchestras in Bulgaria welcome musicians from […]

2024 is very special for our new guest we are pleased to present - the year of two remarkable anniversaries: 90 years since he was born and 80 since his amazing journey in music began. Composer and conductor with an impressive career, member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Vassil Kazandjiev is an amazing, energetic […]
