The Unknown Greats
NIRA Communications Agency is the producer of the musical
project The Unknown Greats - a new approach to the European
classical heritage through the expressions of jazz and pop
culture.
The basis of the project is rarely performed works by great
European composers, and the sparkling accents - popular songs of
authors from their countries. Each piece sounds remarkably
different and is perceived by audiences as an inspiring
challenge to the usual patterns of presentation of both types of
music.
Nina Lokmadzhieva gave name of the project and developed the
conceptual and organizational framework. Searching activities
are guided by the opera diva Boyka Vasileva and arrangements are
made by the pianist and composer Stratsimir Pavlov. The
incredible clarinetist-improviser Stoyan Royanov Ya-Ya line the
modern pop inclusions and manager of the project is Svetla
Velikova.
Boyka Vasileva is a respected Bulgarian mezzo-soprano – a
soloist of Varna Opera Theatre with numerous international
performances. She sets the solid classical base. You can read
