    Petar Ralchev (accordion) is one of the brightest stars on the contemporary Bulgarian music scene. The founder of a unique performing style characterized by virtuosity, melodiousness, rich harmony and improvisation, he is an inspiration for many young accordionists around the world today. Having inherited a wealth of tunes, rhythms and measures from the folk tradition, he takes them into new realms and leads them to new heights. His deep understanding of this tradition, combined with rigorous classical training at the National School of Music Art in Plovdiv, is the basis for incredible artistic development. During years of performing with other musical giants such as Georgi Yanev and Ivo Papasov-Ibryam, Ralchev reshaped accordion performance. Open to the subtleties and innovations in the music of other countries, he is one of the most sought-after performers in Europe today. At this concert, he will perform with Nikolai Georgiev (tamboura, guitar), Iliyan Marudova (vocals), and Petur Iliev (tupan, drums).
