We have only limited information on Bulgarian choral groups. They had a variety of costumes. We notice one which uses folk costumes--the folk ensemble "Bulgarche" which was was founded in 1968. The founder and Chief-Art Director is Mr. Michail Minchev Djlgerov. About 300 young people participate in various ways. While they sing choral music, they also have an orchestra and dance group. The roup's repertoire includes folk dances, songs and orchestral pieces. They are csareful to include material from all etnographic regions of the country. They have performed all over Bulgaria as well as in many foreign countries. The group describes itself, "Bulgarche -- a personification of the Bulgarian spirit for health, strength, beauty and youth. Behind this name you will discover the youthful and bright smiles on child`s faces. In their clear, open eyes you can read the carefree freedom of happy childhood, the whiff of lovely, native Balkan fields, the sun of Bulgaria and the pride of its old capital - Turnovgrad - a witness of ancient history and culture. It`s enought to see them just once and you will always remember: their motley coloured magnificent folk costumes shining with beauty and dyes, interwoven with love and feeling that has outlived time."
