balgarianovinite.com/ The 65th edition of the March Music Days international festival opened on Friday, with Ruse Mayor Pencho Milkov and Deputy Minister of Culture Viktor Stoyanov launching the event.
The opening concert featured the Ruse Festival Orchestra under Emil Tabakov, with soprano Krasimira Stoyanova and pianist Nikolai Medvedev as soloists.
“Sixty-five years of March Music Days are not just a tradition, but living memory,” Milkov said, describing the festival as a legacy of generations of musicians, listeners and dreamers who believed that in Ruse art was not simply presented but experienced. “Every spring, artists, ensembles and orchestras from different countries gather here,” Stoyanov said, adding that the city on the Danube became a meeting point of cultural traditions and generations and that the festival continued to show culture was the most durable bridge between people and nations.
Stoyanov also said music remained the language that brought people together in a world changing faster than people could fully process. He added that artificial intelligence would eventually bring audiences back to concert halls and renew interest in classical music and the performing arts as artificially created works lost value.
The evening continued with a concert by the Ruse Festival Orchestra, made up of about 80 musicians from 18 countries on four continents, many of them graduates of the city’s National School of Arts. The programme included Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and the final scene of Richard Strauss’s Capriccio.
Before the festival opened, an exhibition entitled Painting by artist Grisha Kubratov, featuring works inspired by music, was unveiled. Among the official guests was BTA Director General Kiril Valchev.
The festival will continue through March 29, 2026, featuring artists, orchestras and ensembles from Bulgaria and 10 other countries, some of them appearing in Bulgaria for the first time. It was organized with the support of the Ministry of Culture, and BTA was among its main media partners.
