FRENCH IMPRESSION is a concert and cocktail party from the musical project The Unknown Greats produced by NIRA Communications Agency - a new approach to the European classical heritage through the expressions of jazz and pop culture. The first one named Spanish Passion was performed in October 2010 with great success to the audience at Varna City Art Gallery.

We’re happy to present at the same place, the second part of the program named French Impression including pieces by Claude Debussy, Camille Saint-Saens, Ernest Chausson, Ravel and popular chansons, traditionally performed by Edith Piaf.

This event is supported by The United Bulgarian Bank - a member of NBG Group.

You’ll enjoy various talented performers: the respected Bulgarian mezzo-soprano Boyka Vasileva, one of the most popular club musicians Stoyan Royanov Ya-Ya on the clarinet and the link between two types of music Stratsimir Pavlov - incredible piano player and arranger of the compositions.

The idea of The Unknown Greats is to meet different types of music - classical, jazz and pop. The aim of the project is to gather in the concert hall two generations of fans - admirers of traditional classical music and young audience.
