BULGARIAN “COSMIC VOICES” FOLK CHOIR IS A WINNER IN AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

Bulgaria’s “Cosmic Voices” choir is the winner in the Open Category of the international choral competition “Let the People Sing“, which this year, took place in Munich (Germany) on 11th of October.

The competition is organized every two years by the EBU. It was founded in 1961 by the BBC, originally as a national competition. In 1966 the competition was changed to an international competition. An international jury selects the finalists in three categories: children’s and young people’s choirs; adult choirs; and an open category for groups with a more specialized repertory e.g. folk music.

“Cosmic Voices” from Bulgaria was founded in 1994. The conductor is Vanya Moneva. Today this unique choir includes 18 female singers carefully selected by numerous castings in different regions in Bulgaria.
