“Such Is Life” — this is the motto of the concert on November 19, where composer Stefan Dimitrov will bring together on one stage legendary performers such as Bogdana Karadocheva, Mihail Belchev, the Argirov Brothers, Mimi Nikolova, and Doni, alongside young but already established artists like Sara, Dimitar and Hristo with ANIMA, Filip Donkov and BEA. Several premieres are planned, with the highlight of the evening being a joint performance by composers Stefan Dimitrov and Stefan Diomov of their new song “Sit Next to Me, My Friend”.

The song is based on an idea by Stefan Dimitrov, who also composed the music. The arrangement is by Stefan Diomov. Andrey Kaludov wrote the lyrics of the song. Stefan Dimitrov says they both love the song and, most importantly, it was created out of pure friendship.
