Vangelis symphonic concert to be held at Sofia's NDK

The “Vangelis – Original Symphonic Concert” is scheduled to take place on May 9, 2027, at Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture (NDK) in Sofia. This large-scale multimedia production honors the legacy of the late Greek composer Vangelis, a pioneer of electronic and film music known for his Oscar-winning score for “Chariots of Fire”.

The event will feature over 100 musicians, including the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, a choir, and a symphonic orchestra. British conductor Pete Harrison will lead the performance. The program will include iconic soundtracks from films such as “Blade Runner”, “1492: Conquest of Paradise”, “Alexander”, “Bitter Moon”, and “The Bounty”.

To enhance the experience, the concert will incorporate visual projections on large screens related to the films for which Vangelis composed. This production follows a successful performance at the O2 Arena in Prague.
