The Pim Pam Children’s Choir will make a guest appearance with a major concert on April 15th as part of the artistic program for the European Capital of Culture Plovdiv 2019. In the course of this jubilee season, as the choir marks its 40th anniversary, the talented singers are preparing a festive program with the best songs of their repertoire. The great majority of those timeless standards have been penned especially for Pim Pam by Boris Karadimchev, the great Bulgarian composer, founder and long-standing artistic director of the choir. Its current leader, Irena Hristova, has invested her exceptional talent and energy into carrying forward the legacy of the Maestro. The playbill for the guest appearance in Plovdiv is made up of tunes that have been favorite with several generations of Bulgarians. The program will also feature the Stefka Blagoeva Plovdiv Boys’ Choir with Milka Toledova as its artistic director. The concert will take place at the Boris Hristov Cultural Center and is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
The young talents of Pim Pam will present in Plovdiv a variety of songs for young children and teenagers, folklore arrangements and a series of unforgettable tunes from the silver screen. Their repertoire also features some of the standards of 20th-century children’s and popular music, songs like ‘People and Streets’, ‘Fortune’, ‘We’re Here to Stay’, a.o. The talented Vessela Delcheva, of the National Musical Theater in Sofia, and Vladi Mikhailov, the frontman of the band Equinox, who participated in Eurovision 2018, will be the soloists. This season, both of them have a schedule of memorable appearances in the musicals ‘Mamma Mia’ at the Sofia Opera House and ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ at the National Musical Theater.
The concert is organized by the Cantus Firmus agency as part of the program for Plovdiv, the European Capital of Culture 2019. Tickets are priced at 10 and 15 leva and are already available from the Eventim network, and at the box office of the Boris Hristov Cultural Center, from 8th through 15th April.
