(9 May) Successful Charity Gala Concert by Rotary Club Sofia International (+GAL)
Successful Charity Gala Concert organized by Rotary Club Sofia International took place on 9 May 2022 in Sofia Opera and Ballet with young International artists. It was a wonderful entertaining concert with arias from Verdi and Wagner, interpreted by the soprano Mrs. Larissa Alice Wissel, accompanied by Maestro Kleanthe Russo on the piano. The evening included beautiful pieces of music for violin and piano by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Paganini and Franck, interpreted by the violinist Mrs. Dessislava Tcholakova and Mr. Alexander Lialios.
The funds collected from the Charity Gala Concert were dedicated to provision of transport for donations of medical equipment from Germany, Austria, and other countries to Bulgarian hospitals in need.
