In 2019, the ‘13 Centuries of Bulgaria’ National Endowment Fund supported for the first time the ‘Apollonia 2019’ Festival of Arts, organised by the Apollonia Foundation on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the launch of the festival.
Thanks to this support, three events in the jubilee artistic programme of ‘Apollonia 2019’ were realised: ‘Through the Looking-Glass’, a musical directed by Biserka Kolevska; ‘85 Years of Krikor Azarian’, a performance by the Azarian Theatre; and the participation of the ‘Ivan Valev’ Northern Folklore Ensemble, Pleven, conducted by Marian Tudzharov, on the stage of the Apollonia Amphitheatre.
