Event
Theodosii Spassov in Seattle
The Bulgarian Cultural and Heritage Center of Seattle
in partnership with Northwest Folklife
Presents
THEODOSII SPASSOV, world-acclaimed Bulgarian kaval virtuoso & voice
Solo Concert
This concert will be a unique opportunity to hear Mr. Spassov playing alone. Yes, that's right! No hyped up band. No throbbing percussion, just his own solo virtuosic lyricism.
Theodosii Spassov was born on March 4th, 1961. He began his early training on the kaval at the Kotel Music School and The Academy of Music and Dance in Plovdiv/Bulgaria. The kaval, an 8-hole wooden "shepherd" flute, is one of the oldest instruments in Europe, rich in tone and technical possibilities. Theodosii Spassov has developed his own unique style of playing the instrument by synthesizing traditional folklore with jazz, fusion and classical music. For over 20 years, Theodosii has toured all over Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, Canada and United States.
Songlines: "Theodosii Spassov is unquestionably the greatest virtuoso of Bulgaria's shepherd flute, the kaval, and in his hands the simple tube of wood pierced by holes is capable of an astonishing range of sounds, effects and endless subtleties of phrasing."
Newsweek: "He actually created a new musical genre."
Chicago Tribune: "...like a jam session between Ian Anderson and Thelonius Monk."
THE CONCERT IS PART OF:
