High Art in the Lowcountry: Muzika!

Twenty years ago, Kalin and Sharon Tchonev created a nonprofit company of true art to ensure aspiring and professional musicians the opportunity to grow in their skill and passion for presenting classical works that transcend time and culture in meaningful ways. Influenced by the histories of their own countries, Bulgaria and Israel, the founders believe music has an important role to play in making the world a more intimate, unified, and loving place. Based out of Columbia, South Carolina, Varna International Music Academy has grown into a globally recognized festival organizer specializing in large-scale, artistically rich, and customized choral-orchestral concerts, performance tours, and music training academies for conductors, choral singers, vocalists, and instrumentalists throughout Europe, Israel, and the United States.

This summer, experience their new festival for high-quality, live entertainment – Muzika is a fully staged and costumed professional opera featuring chamber instrumental and vocal ensembles. The Broadway Revue (on July 8th at Beach Church) is FREE and will showcase selections from the golden era of Broadway to today’s modern classics. Shows will also include a few of the Met’s premier soloists in the starring roles, Maestro Gregory Buchalter of the NY Metropolitan Opera, and Dr. Charles Evans from the Long Bay Symphony. This level of production and professionalism is special for the Grand Strand and it’s truly a community effort. Many locals are hosting these talented performers. By supporting Muzika, you are also supporting the local economy and artists. Visit the website today for special discounts on tickets!
