Upcoming Events 2024
Wednesday 4th September and Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th September
Zarebi are excited to present a week of events with award winning Bulgarian choir Pletenitsa. This will include a musical exchange evening with local musicians and Pletenitsa, a dance workshop, singing workshop and joint concert with Pletenitsa and Zarebi.
Pletenitsa are from the picturesque town of Veliko Tarnovo in Bulgaria, and since their beginning have won various awards and choir competitions. They are directed by the wonderful Nataliq Bilcheva who is from a renowned singing family in Bulgaria.
This forms the second half of a cultural exchange between Zarebi and Pletenitsa. Zarebi went to Bulgaria in October last year and spent an inspirational week together with Pletenitsa, sharing songs, eating together, sight seeing in their home town, talking together and of course performing together. Now it is our turn to host Pletenitsa in our home valley, and we would love for you to join us during this very special weekend of events.
