"In 2015, the idea for, a joint project between Symphony Sofia and Dance Formation Sofia with its rock band, was born. We advertise it as "Rock Symphony" to cover a wider range of music lovers, but in the arrangement and adaptation from pianoforte to symphony orchestra I give priority to the voicing, and in the orchestration to the symphony orchestra, not so much to the rock band. That is why I have arranged some of the songs only for a symphony orchestra, without a rock band and vocals. In the concert, we will offer an interesting symbiosis between a symphony orchestra, a rock band, and vocals with electric violin and saxophones. All this will be presented in an attractive and accessible way for the audience, with short explanations from me about the history of the creation of each of the songs, with teasing and questions to the audience", says Svilen Simeonov in an interview with the media about his project, which the audience on the Island will hear, see and feel on Saturday night under the stars.
