On April 7, 2025, an anniversary concert of the chamber ensemble "Collegium HOSANNA" took place at the Cultural Center “Jules Pascin”.
The event is part of the series of concerts with which the formation celebrates 25 years since its establishment.
The program included original works and arrangements by Georgi Popov. Among the performances were:
•“Our Father” from the Holy Liturgy No. 4 in Church Slavonic
•“Apostolic Primates” – troparion in honor of the Holy Apostles Petar and Pavel
•“Paisiy” and “Levsky” – cantatas based on verses from “Epic of the Forgotten” by Ivan Vazov
•“Who is God Great” and “Worthy is He” – hymns in the spirit of the Eastern Orthodox tradition
•“Glorify, my soul” – a hymn for the Nativity of the Virgin Mary according to Neophyte Rilski
•“Praise of King Simeon” – an anonymous Old Bulgarian text from the 10th century.
An impressive series of vocal miniatures, op. 2.
Hymns in nine languages: Italian (“Uomini di Galilea”), German (“Heiliger Gott”), English (“A Mercy of Peace”), French (“L’ange clama”), Greek (“O Aggelos”), Spanish (“Cordero”), etc.
Troparions dedicated to Saint Petka and Saint Dimitar also took pride of place in the program, which resonated with particular impact in the hall of the Cultural Center “Jules Pascin”.
The event was held within the framework of the project "Hosanna College Visits", which includes concerts in Plovdiv, Kazanlak, Elena, Sopot and Vidin. The project is being implemented with the financial support of the National Culture Fund under the "Dissemination" program 2024.
