THE SOUND OF THE FAR EAST

The Metaart Foundation presents its project “The Sound of the Far East”. Visitors will be able to get acquainted with unknown Mongolia through the sight of a Bulgarian traveler and through the musical tales of Violons Barbares – one of the most famous ethnic groups in Europe. The trio (Violons Barbares) is arriving in Bulgaria for the first time and will perform a masterful music class and then perform a full concert. With the help of music, stories, and photography, we will be able to dive into the Mongolian steppe and the soul of a harsh and resilient people.

The project is part of the programme of Plovdiv – European Capital of Culture 2019 / Plovdiv 2019 ECOC
All program events are free!
