The poetics of the image is connected with both the author’s intentions – the instruments and means of expression they use, and with the beholder, who sets what they have seen in the horizon of their expectations and understanding. The project Poetics of the Image, which presents the exhibitions of nine prominent Bulgarian artists, deals exactly with the connection which emerges between how the images are “made” and how they are “understood”. This original bridge creates artistic meanings and senses that are sometimes in unison and sometimes beyond the entrenched beliefs and traditions.

An evening with the music of Pancho Vladigerov. Music by Pancho Vladigerov will sound amidst the authentic and inspiring setting of Old Plovdiv. In 2019 we celebrate 120 years from his birth. In this concert, performers Milena Valeva (violin) and Alexander Kolev (piano) have selected short, characteristic pieces, which will depict the main aspects of Vladigerov’s works – his connection with folklore (Bulgarian, Romanian, Spanish, Jewish) and his interest in theatre. The title of the concert Autumn Impressions illustrates their attitude to autumn, to the fascination and richness of its shades and moods.
