Bulgarian Art Day

Long-time Troy resident and pianist Angelina Pashmakova, and Ivan Ivanov, a young Bulgarian clarinetist, will be performing in concert for Bulgarian Art Day, on Sunday, January 31, at 3 pm, at the Troy Public Library.

Ivanov, a graduate student at Eastern Michigan University, became, at the age of 20, the youngest member of the Bulgarian Philharmonic Orchestra. Together, Pashmakova and Ivanov will play premiere pieces of Bulgarian composers Remenkov, Tekeliev and Stojanov.

In addition, Dimitrina Koleva, a graduate of the University of Sofia Kliment Ohridski, will lecture on the history and culture of the Thracian-Ancient Tribes. These tribes created a priceless cultural heritage in the lands of present-day Bulgaria and Romania, as well as other regions of the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor.

This event is free and sponsored by The Friends of the Troy Public Library. For more information, contact Dr. Maria Hunciag at hunciagme@troymi.gov.
