Balgarianovinite.com A flash mob by students from nine schools and the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) Children’s Choir took place on Saturday in front of the Ivan Vazov National Theatre in Sofia. The participants performed Varvi, narode vazrodeni (Advance, Revived Bulgarian People), holding balloons, flags and the letters of the Svetilnik (Candlelight) initiative, under which nine schools received new anthems.
Among the guests at the flash mob were Education Minister Georgi Valchev, BTA Director General Kiril Valchev, BNR Director General Milen Mitev, and LIK Magazine Editor-in-Chief Georgi Lozanov.
Original school anthems were received by Hristo Botev 11th Primary School in Blagoevgrad, Bratya Miladinovi 97th Secondary School in Sofia, Otets Paisii Secondary School in Samokov, Neofit Rilski Primary School in the village of Gorno Draglishte, Razlog Municipality, Lyuben Karavelov Secondary School in Koprivshtitsa, Konstantin Velichkov 45th Primary School in Sofia, Dr Petar Beron Secondary School in Kostinbrod, Prof. Veselin Stoyanov National School of Arts in Ruse, Prof. Pancho Vladigerov National School of Music and Performing Arts in Burgas, and Georgi Sava Rakovski Bolhrad High School in Ukraine.
Later in the day, the schools will perform their anthems on the stage of the National Theatre during the concert Svetilnik 2025–2026: What Is the World Without a Song. The event is the culmination of the fifth edition of the national initiative for donating original school anthems. The audience will also see the premiere of the videos to the anthems, while the children’s choirs and vocal groups will receive certificates from Musicautor for the donated anthems.
BTA has been a media partner of the initiative since its launch in 2021, together with the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and Science, Bulgarian National Television, BNR, the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts, the Ivan Vazov National Theatre and Sofia Municipality.
Earlier in the day, the May issue of BTA’s LIK magazine was presented at the National Theatre. The issue is dedicated to the 170th anniversary of the birth of Bulgarian writer, poet, satirist, and public figure Stoyan Mihaylovski, as well as the 175th anniversary of the first celebration of the Day of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius, of the Bulgarian Alphabet, Education and Culture, and of Slavic Literature. Among the highlights of the issue is the Svetilnik (Candlelight) initiative, organized by Musicautor to encourage the creation of original school anthems.
Since January 2024, BTA’s literature, art and culture periodical has been freely accessible. All LIK issues since its relaunch in 2022 can be downloaded in electronic format from BTA’s website.
