A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
The male a cappella vocal quartet gives a deep depiction of ancient Bulgarian folklore and polyphonic works of Orthodox sacred music. They explore and introduce ancient hymns, unknown until now. These are the masterpieces of Bulgarian monophonic music and its manifestations throughout the centuries. In 2012, the Svetoglas formation released their first music project called "The Wheel of Life," which presents, in chronological order, traditional music and Bulgarian Orthodox Church songs about birth, life, death, and the afterlife.

In 2014, Svetoglas released several recordings of ancient ecclesiastical chants for their second independent project "Ancient Orthodox Hymns." The formation has made numerous vocal and film recordings for the Bulgarian National Radio and Television and has had many prestigious tours in Russia, England, Norway, Belgium, Spain, Colombia, and Italy.

They have participated in the international festival "Music of Faith" in Kazan, Russia, the Festival of Spiritual Music in Drammen, Norway, the Festival of Sacred Music "Maestro de la Roza" in Oviedo, Spain, the International Music Festival in Cartagena, Colombia, the 16th International Festival "Murcia Three Cultures" in Spain, and the International Festival for Sacred Music "Fausto Flamini" at the "Saint Mary Aracoeli" Basilica in Rome, Italy.

Svetoglas members are Daniel Spassov, Stanimir Ivanov, Viktor Tomanov, and Milen Ivanov.
