I went to see the Zargoche Ensemble last week with my family and they are outstanding! The children’s singing, dancing and playing was very impressive; they looked enchanting too in their wonderful Bulgarian outfits. Very inspiring for young people - my kids thoroughly enjoyed the show and took part in a big group dance at the end.
