The brilliant German trombonist Carla Köllner will for the first time perform with the Bulgarian National Radio Big Band in the final concert of the season - on 27 June at 7 pm in the First Studio of the Bulgarian National Radio under the baton of Antoni Donchev, conductor of the BNR's Big Band.

Presenting new European music for big bands is a trademark of maestro Antoni Donchev who this time will lead the audience on an exciting journey into the music of Carla Köllner.
