Completely synchronous with his special presence tonight - performer, educator, director, and a person who is like a life-giving well of knowledge and something that is transmitted on the invisible mental-emotional tracks by the teacher to student, were the stage performances of his former graduates of the National Music Academy "Prof. Pancho Vladigerov" - Sofia, who are soloists of the Burgas Opera.
