Concert
“In Resonance with Nature”
with Boyana Zareva and Ivan Shopov
Organic farm “Rosino”, where life follows the rhythm of the earth, invites you to a neo-classical musical experience
by Boyana Zareva 🎻 and Ivan Shopov 🎛️
"In resonance with nature"
Man and nature follow their rhythm. It pulsates, both in every human step, breath and thought, and in the animal world, the sound of the wind, the silence of the forest, the pulse of the river and the cycle of the seasons. When the human and the natural come into harmony, their frequencies amplify each other, creating resonance.
Similarly, the music in this concert is born through the interaction between people, space, and the living environment.
The two musicians intertwine their skills to reach the souls of listeners and immerse them in an innovative musical experience with a program specially created for the event.
The inspiring and talented Boyana Zareva will play acoustic and electric violins, smoothly transitioning from a pure and organic sound to a sound saturated with spatial effects.
The world-famous music producer Ivan Shopov also contributes to the depth of the experience, creating live electronic musical landscapes based on the futuristic sound of a modular synthesizer and compositions specially prepared for the event.
This is no ordinary concert - it is a sonic alchemy in which classical sound meets the future, recreating the wild, the domesticated and the human.
