КЪМ ФОРМУЛЯРА

International Competition for Young Trumpet Players – Stara Zagora

The idea for the International Competition for Young Trumpet Players belongs to Pencho Penchev, a long-time trumpet professor and educator who is also the competition’s artistic director. The competition started in 1995 as a national event, the first of its kind in Bulgaria for this specialty. It quickly gained widespread popularity and grew rapidly, achieving international recognition. In 2007, for its fourth edition, it was opened to international participation, and in 2009, at its fifth edition, it officially gained the status of an international competition.

The competition’s regulations include a mandatory requirement for contestants to perform works written specifically for the event by Bulgarian composers. Special pieces for the competition have been composed by Prof. Alexander Tekeliev, Kiril Lambov, Petar Petrov, Veselin Karaatanasov, Nikola Takov, Vanya Angelova, Yordan Dafov, and Yovcho Krushev.

The competition has a geographical reach across two continents, Europe and Asia. Young trumpeters from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Malta, Moldova, the Netherlands, Poland, the Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, Hungary, and Croatia showcase their instrumental skills and performance qualities.

Since 2009, an authoritative international jury has evaluated the participants with its professional and pedagogical expertise. Here are some of the names of the jury members from various editions of the competition:

• Prof. Anna Freeman – Australia

• Prof. Angel Makedonski – Bulgaria
• Prof. Atanas Dyulgerov – Bulgaria
• Prof. Petar Karparov – Bulgaria
• Prof. Igor Chetsokho – Poland
• Prof. Vaso Ristov – Republic of North Macedonia
• Prof. Sergiu Castrea – Romania
• Prof. Andrey Ikov – Russia
• Prof. Ronald Rom – USA
• Prof. Mladen Djordjevic – Serbia
• Prof. Zeynep Çilingir – Turkey
• Prof. Jiří Nová – Czech Republic
• Rafik Azizov – Azerbaijan
• Georgi Kovachev – Bulgaria
• Ivan Kozhuharov – Bulgaria
• Pencho Penchev – Bulgaria
• Svetoslav Vasilev – Bulgaria

• Dr. Michael Hengst – USA

A traditional part of the competition is the official final concert of the laureates and the jury, which is held with the accompaniment of the Stara Zagora State Opera Orchestra.
