Historic success for "Fortissimo" in Asia
Vocal ensemble "Fortissimo" has returned with three gold awards and two category victories from prestigious international choral forums in China and Japan. The performers from Burgas proved that Bulgarian choral art is at a world-class level.
"Fortissimo" was the only European representative among the finalists in Tokyo and the only choir from outside China in the top 10 at the elite competition in Beijing.
Triumph in Beijing and Tokyo
- Beijing: First place, gold diploma, and statuette at the 18th China International Chorus Festival.
- Tokyo: First place in the "Folklore" category and a gold diploma in the "Youth Choirs" category at the 8th Tokyo International Choir Competition.

The ensemble expresses special thanks to the Municipality of Burgas, the Zonta Club of Bourgas, and the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Japan for their support during this unforgettable Asian tour.
