"In 2015, the idea arose for a joint project between the Sofia Symphony and Dance Formation Sofia with its rock band. We announce it as "Rock Symphony" to cover a wider range of music lovers, but when arranging and adapting from piano to symphony orchestra, I give priority to the voice, and when orchestrating - to the symphony orchestra, not so much to the rock band. That's why I 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 to the public way, with brief explanations from me about the history of each song, with jokes and questions to the audience, "said in an interview with the media Svilen Simeonov about his project, which the Burgas audience will hear, see and feel on Thursday in the Opera Hall.
