SATURDAY, June 22nd at 2:00pm at ANNEX Theatre, Vancouver- “BEFORE AND BEYOND TIME – music on the boundary of two millennia”.
The concert will present the artistry of the Bulgarian composer Gheorghi Arnaoudov for the first time in Canada. The composer will arrive directly from Bulgaria especially for this concert.

This is what the Western music critics say about the composer:
“Bulgarian composer Gheorghi Arnaoudov speaks a musical language that combines the traditions of European modernism – Western and Eastern – with a spiritualism and aesthetic mysticism that comes from Eastern traditions. This is music of stasis, a kind of intense minimalism that tells no conventional stories but rather meditates on an idea.
His vital use of a variety of literary sources, aesthetic ideas, and collaborations with other art forms distinguish his music in today’s European concert culture. These works, from Bulgaria’s most cosmopolitan compositional voice at the height of his powers, musically capture the freedom of flight and engage in timeless conversations with poets, philosophers, and folk traditions across the ages.”- Eric Salzman, New York

There will be a meet and greet session with the composer after the concert over snacks and a glass of wine.
