In 1972 Zlatina Deliradeva became the Detska Kitka’s artistic director and chief conductor. Her talent was instantly obvious, evidenced by a steadily increasing list of artistic achievements on national and international stage. Under her conductorship the Detska Kitka Choir put up prize-winning performances in a number of prestigious international choir competitions: Celje, Yugoslavia (1981), Debrecen, Hungary (1984), Arnhem, the Netherlands (1987), Varna, Bulgaria (1989), Cantonigros, Spain (1995), Halle, Germany (1998), and Maasmechelen, Belgium (1999). The choir’s artistic portfolio includes over thirty-five concert tours in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, and Hungary. For the last thirty years the choir has delivered over 600 performances on Bulgarian and international stage and has appeared at thirteen international choir festivals. An ambassador of Bulgarian culture, the Detska Kitka Choir is a three-time participant in the cultural programmes of the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly and the European Parliament in Strasbourg (1994, 1996, and 1997). A recent highlight in the choir’s artistic biography was its participation in the Europalia Festival in Brussels in 2002 where it put up a performance at Brussels’ Saint Michel cathedral. The Detska Kitka Choir has recorded several albums, containing a total of seventy-eight choral pieces. The choir has made numerous recordings for various radio and TV channels, most notably with the French National Radio, Canal 5, the Hungarian National Radio, the Bavarian National Radio, the Bulgarian National Radio, Radio Ljubljana, the Bulgarian National Television and Eurocom Bulgaria.Prof. Zlatina Deliradeva.
