From April 23rd to 26th, 2026, the XXVIII National Competition for the performance of Bulgarian musical works "Vurban Varbanov", designed for students from the 8th to 12th grades, will be held in Burgas.
Within the framework of the initiative, on April 24th, 2026, the V National Competition for young performers of Bulgarian music for students from 1st to 7th grades will also take place.
