Apollonia Arts Festival: A Remarkable End to Day 7

The long-standing Apollonia Arts Festivals continue to be the culmination of the Bulgarian summer, and their seventh day was no exception, offering the public a rich and diverse program. This day turned into a real feast for the senses, combining literature, theater, music and cinema, attracting thousands of art connoisseurs from all over the country.

Literary meetings and new horizons

The day's literary program was extremely intense, with the Art Gallery at the center of the events. The writer Ivan Iliev presented his new book, bearing the intriguing title "Don't Hurry to Die". The work, which has already aroused great interest in literary circles, was met with applause from the audience. A little later, again in the gallery, Martin Ivanov's novel "The Former People" was also presented. Both events gave contemporary Bulgarian literature fans the opportunity to get a taste of the latest achievements of their favorite authors. In addition, Radoslav Bimbalov presented his book "You, My Likeness", adding another touch to the colorful literary palette.

Theatrical emotions and film screenings

Theatrical art also took a prominent place in the program. On the stage of the Otets Paisiy community center, the audience had the pleasure of enjoying the performance "Switzerland", a work of the famous Theater 199 "Valentin Stoychev". The performance left a deep impression on the audience, who rewarded the artists with thunderous ovations. Meanwhile, for lovers of the seventh art, the summer cinema opened its doors for a screening of the movie "Wild Strawberries", directed by Tanya Pandurska.

Triumph of music

One of the highlights of the day was the final concert of the violin masterclass of the world-famous virtuoso Svetlin Rusev. The event, which took place in the Archaeological Museum, was the culmination of an intensive training program. Under the watchful eye of their mentor, five young and talented violinists - Georgi Raichev, Viktor Kostov, Teodora Hristova, Magdalena Kamenova and Boryana Zheleva, received their diplomas for successfully completing the masterclass. They impressed the audience with their performances, demonstrating exceptional skills and musical mastery.
