The choir, one of the three compositions within the Choir “Prof. Marin Chonev”, was created in 1976, and from 1981 to 2022 it was invariably led by Zaharina Milkova – Nikitasova.
Maestra Milkova will remain in the history of Varna as a person who devoted her entire professional life to the promotion of the Varna choral art in the world and in our country, which is why her name deserves to be remembered with respect. “We believe that in this way we will keep the work of Zaharina Milkova alive and this will give a new creative boost to our self-made composition,” argue the proponents of the proposal.
The councilors also approved placing a bust monument of Lyuben Karavelov in the courtyard of the school of the same name. In 2022, SU “Lyuben Karavelov” celebrated the 60th anniversary of its establishment. On this occasion, the teaching staff and the student council initiated the installation of a bust – a monument of their patron in the courtyard of the school. The author of the project is the famous Varna sculptor Zhivko Donchev, who created the sculptural figure of the mayor Mihail Koloni. The project has gone through all the necessary procedures. After the approval of the initiative by the Varna Municipal Council, the final coordination of the project for the monument to Lyuben Karavelov is pending.
Among the topics of today’s meeting was the financing of the projects under the “Culture” Fund. The councilors voted for allowable expenses to accept expenses incurred by the organizations before the conclusion of the co-financing agreement with the fund, but only on the condition that the projects are approved.
A call for project proposals is currently underway. The deadline is May 12 inclusive, and the approved candidates will become clear in the middle of the year.
