“My life is marked by the stage”

Since the age of six, I’ve been used to being in the limelight, striving to reach the audience through music ranging from traditional Bulgarian folk music to many of the major composers, working with soloists, choirs and orchestras. For me, being a conductor is like being an interpreter in a world where music is the main language and where beauty is boundless. To create music with others, to see the joy in the eyes of the audience, to feel the joy of the concert in the eyes of the singers and musicians and to find the next great musical mountain to conquer — well, it then seems as if one life isn’t enough…

Perunika female choir is a vocal ensemble from Stockholm, the mutual interest in the open, non-vibrato style of chest voices singing brought the idea of founding a female vocal ensemble together with the Bulgarian born conductor Michael Deltchev.

The music is performed in the Bulgarian language and in different style characteristics, reflecting the origin of the music with the text and embellishments making explicit the differences of the ethnographic and folk music regions in Bulgaria.

The all female choir Sedjanka specialises in Bulgarian folk song tradition in modern multi-voiced arrangements.

The choir's repertoire ranges from contemporary arrangements of traditional Bulgarian folk songs to works by current composers. The lyrics are about human life in war and love, and the formidable, joyous and melancholy themes are expressed in great musical intensity.

The sound is completely its own. In the crooked rhythms, oriental-sounding scales and distinctive harmonies, one can hear inspiration from both jazz and recent classical music, in addition to the Balkan tradition. The sound is strong and metallic, and the overall expression is expressive and inviting.
