WELCOME TO THE BVAI ROSTER!

BV Artists International is pleased to introduce to its readers our newest artist, Veselin Ninov, pianist. We would like to congratulate him on all of his hard work and achievements during 2013! His addition to our roster is very exciting and we want to welcome him!
Veselin Ninov was born in Bulgaria, and from the age of four he started learning the piano. His first teacher was the well-known Bulgarian pedagogue Ms. Antoaneta Vodenicharova. Only a year later, he won prize at a national competition in Bulgaria in his home town of Pleven. Since then, Mr. Ninov has won over twenty competitions in various national and international venues. At the age of ten, he performed Mozart's K488 with the Pleven Philharmonic and has recorded with the Bulgarian National Radio and Television.
Mr. Ninov has performed chamber concerts and recitals in many European and North American music halls, including Merkin Hall and Carnegie Hall in NYC. He has performed as a soloist with state philharmonics in Bulgaria, Russia, and the USA.
2013 Season's Musical Highlights
The year 2013 has been very successful for pianist Veselin Ninov. Among his achievements are becoming a member of the notable American Pianists Association and being among the few pianists selected for the LIVE auditions/performances of the prestigious Young Concert Artists, Inc. He performed Bach's Toccata in E minor, Haydn's Sonata in C minor, and Liszt's Dante Sonata on the stage of Kaufmann Music Center's Merkin Hall in NYC. A month later, Mr. Ninov returned to Merkin Hall to take part in a chamber concert.
At the end of May, he graduated with honors from the Long Island Conservatory of Music and received his Conservatory Diploma in Piano Performance as a student of the famous piano pedagogue Tamara Poddubnaya. He was awarded a full scholarship for that entire program after winning the Grand Prix of the LISMA International Competition in 2009 and the opportunity to perform with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic.
In June and July, Mr. Ninov performed a series of solo and chamber recitals in Long Island, where he resides. At the end of July, he traveled to New England to take part in the 7th International Piano Festival Music 'Without Borders' in Bethel, ME, with artistic director Prof. Tamara Poddubnaya. He was featured as a Guest Artist and gave a solo recital in McLaughlin Auditorium in Gould Academy. In September, Mr. Ninov returned to Maine with violist Tonya Bibashka-Ninov for three more performances of Liszt's B minor Sonata and works for viola and piano by Telemann and Rachmaninov.
His students are already participating in national and international competitions in the New York area. As the Grand Prix winner in 2012, Mr. Ninov is looking forward to judging at the Darrell's Music Hall Competition in the spring of 2014.

One of the highlights of Mr. Ivanov's visit to the school where one of his first cello teachers, Pepa Antonova, has taught for over 40 years was seeing the progress of some of the best Bulgarian young cellists. Many of them are already winners of national and international-level competitions.
