New Symphony Orchestra to Perform Its First Concert in Memoriam of James Pardew

The New Symphony Orchestra is dedicating its first concert to be held after the enforced break caused by the Covid-19 pandemic to the memory of former United States ambassador James Pardew, who died on June 2.

The NSO said that Pardew, a member of the orchestra's honorary board, had been one of its most loyal supporters.

The concert by the NSO, which this year has its 30th anniversary, will be on July 9 at 7.30pm in Bulgaria Hall.

To be conducted by Petko Dimitrov with soloist Edelina Kaneva, the programme for the concert is:
