About this user

The Academic folk choir at the Academy of Arts in Plovdiv Bulgaria, was founded in 1981. In a relatively short time it has achieved exceptional results. Having developed its technical and artistic skills on a high academic level, the choir falls into the same category with a large number of professional choirs. It has faced successfully the challenge of performing songs composed on a folklore base by overcoming their numerous vocal, technical and interpretative difficulties.

The choirs repertoire is characterized by a wide specter of style variety from authentic folk song from different national regions, to multi-voice interpretations, composers works composed with vanguard means of expression, and old orthodox songs.

Many works have been written and dedicated to the Academic folk choir by authors like Asen Diamandiev, Stefan Mutafchiev, Ivan Spasov, Nikolai Stoikov, Kiril Stefanov, Nikolai Kaufman, Krassimir Kyurkchijski, Anastas Naumov, etc.

Their works have often had their debut performances done by the choir. Thanks to them, the choir has become the founder of the phenomenon called new folklore influence. It is characterized with the intonations and metro-rhythms that are integrated in the works they perform, as well as with the highly professional use of contemporary interpretative methods.

The choir has participated in numerous concerts in Bulgaria as well as internationally, yielding numerous acknowledgements and prizes. Some of the choirs more remarkable international awards are those from the Bidgosh Musical Impressions festival in Poland, Gurten festival Switzerland, Flanders Festival Belgium, Europalia Belgium, as well as the Bulgarian collection of New Bulgarian Music, etc.

The international critics have acclaimed the choirs performances as perfectly epitomizing the mystery of the Bulgarian Voices, superseding the common idea about the Bulgarian national song, and original and enchanting with their beauty, precision, artistic freedom and stable intonation.

Some of most acclaimed choir-masters were Associate Prof. Stefan Mutafchiev and Prof. Vassilka Spasova, the latter being considered the chief contributor for the biggest achievements of the choir.

Starting fall 2004, PhD Kostadin Buradzhiev has been the chief choir-master. The choir itself consists of folk singing students of all majors in the Academy for Music, Dancing and Painting Arts. In the year 2005 the choir won the first prize on the International Folk Festival in Albena, Bulgaria. In 2005-2006 it also made numerous recordings for the Bulgarian National Radio.

The biggest international success of the Academic folk choir came true in 2008 under Kostadin Buradzhiev. The choir won the title Champion of the world choir games in Graz, Austria (an event believed to be the biggest of its kind).

For his exceptional work and success in 2008 Kostadin Buradzhiev was nominated and won the "Crystal lyre" award - the highest music honor in Bulgaria. The award is presented by the Ministry of culture, the Union of Bulgarian music and dance professionals and radio FM+.
