    Dimitar Bodurov presents DECAGON – created especially for the 10th anniversary of the RADAR festival. DECAGON is an audio-visual composition for a chamber ensemble of 10 musicians, divided into ten parts, each dedicated to a different instrument. Inspiration for this work Bodurov finds in the festival slogan “beyond music”, which he uses as a leitmotiv that explores various concepts related to music and numbers, as well as references to numerology, serialism, and other compositional techniques. Petko Tanchev will transform the stage space with immersive video mapping.

  • Bodurov Trio showcase at EJN

    The Dimitar Bodurov Trio, with the leader on piano, Jens Dueppe on drums and Mihail Ivanov on bass set the tone for the whole showcase: extremely high musicianship, an original sound and strong inspiration from traditional music were apparent in the original compositions of the pianist”

    “Technically impressive, on occasion Bodurov gives the impression that he possesses more than the standard two hands. Yet he is no slave to flashy display. The symmetry of jazz, folk and classical language of this compelling live document is totally natural”. 
    Ian Patterson, All about jazz
