Kalin Kirilov - Performances

As a performer, I have given more than 1000 concerts and workshops on Balkan music in Europe, Canada, and the United States. In 2003 and 2005, I toured with Ivo Papazov, a recipient of the 2005 BBC audience award in the category of “World Music.” Each tour included more than 25 concerts and residencies at major universities across the United States.
