Event overview
Presented by the Centre for Contemporary Music, this seminar and performance will be on Balkan classical music
The renowned Bulgarian composer and pianist Krassimir Taskov will discuss Bulgarian classical music with some references to Rumanian music as well as other Balkan traditions.
