Eternal Love, A Solo Concert by Monk Avel
Thursday, January 15, at 7 p.m.
Boris Hristov House of Culture

With over 83 million views and more than 500,000 subscribers on YouTube, the renowned and much-loved in Bulgaria virtuoso pianist Monk Avel returns with an entirely new concert program. Fans of the talented performer will experience masterpieces of classical and contemporary music. His virtuoso performance, despite its outward calm and restraint, is filled with deep emotion, color, and feeling that never leave the audience indifferent. His diverse repertoire — ranging from Bach and Mozart to works by modern composers — allows every listener to find their own music within his interpretation. Johann S. Bach once said that “The aim of music is to touch the heart,” and that is precisely what Monk Avel does best.
