30 YEARS OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA AND THE SOVEREIGN ORDER OF MALTA IN BULGARIA

The Executive Director of the  InvestBulgaria Agency, Mila Nenova, was part of the guests of honor together with politicians, clergymen and lovers of classical music.

The 30th anniversary is celebrated with a special concert “Splendour Musicus” on the theme “Chivalry”. The Order of Malta is a very ancient order of chivalry, founded in Jerusalem in the 11th century, and during its history knights were also in Rhodes and Malta. After 1834, the seat of government of the Order was in Rome, with a very small territory, but the Order numbered nearly 15,000 members and thousands of volunteers around the world. Today, he works in 120 countries, caring for people in need through medical, social and humanitarian projects. In Bulgaria, the Order has implemented over 550 activities and donations in 250 different settlements.

The solemn concert dedicated to chivalry, under the title SPLENDOUR MUSICUS – Amor vel Roma, is a project of Virginia Atanasova, who is among the most prominent contemporary Bulgarian conductors, a specialist in the field of baroque music, which is why the program includes music on chivalric themes by Handel, Vivaldi, André Grétry and Henry Purcell, and the composer Atanas Atanasov is preparing a special work inspired by the 13th-century Minnesinger Wolfran von Eschenbach. The concert is part of the program of the Sofia Music Weeks International Festival.
