Next Saturday in the Armenian capital of Yerevan will start a series of concerts devoted to the famous composer Sofia Gubajdulina. The concerts will be held in the scope of the 11st international festival "the Prospects of the 21st century" with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture of Armenia and under the patronage of the President Serge Sargsyan.

It should be noted that in the opinion of many music critics Sofia Asgatovna is one of the most prominent composers of the second half of the 20th century. As the magnificent contemporary composer she thinks of music as an indivisible patterned lace of life, religion and art. The incredible depth, wonderful unity of the arts of the East and West and the infallibility of spiritual purity - these are the main words describing uncommon creativity of the composer. Sofia Asgatovna Gubajdulina along with a number of such musical giants as Alfred Schnittke and Edison Denisov is one of three leading avant-garde composers of Russia. This year Sofia Gubajdulina will celebrate her 79th birthday.
A series of concerts will be opened on March 6 by the famous Russian musician and a world-renowned violist Yuri Bashmet in the concert hall of Aram Khachaturian. The famed musician will perform with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia and will play quite a great concert the "Night song of the Fish" created by Sofia Gubajdulina in 1996 for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and which is an inimitable concert for viola dedicated to Yuri Bashmet.
In addition to the famous musician the concerts devoted to Sofia Gubajdulina will attend such world-famous musicians as Geir Draugsvojl (accordion), David Gerindas (cello), Robertas Shervenikas (conductor) and Nicola Alshted (cello). The Armenian side at the concerts will present the Armenian State Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Edward Topchyan, the "Hover" chamber choir, the “Serenad” chamber orchestra and other famous artists.

Holidays in Bulgaria: visa-free regime for Schengen owners
The Bulgarian government decided to simplify for many tourists the procedure of entering the country. From now on all people with a valid Schengen visa can go on holiday to Bulgaria without national visa. In such way Bulgaria is preparing its structures for the upcoming country’s entry into the visa-free regime, which today functions between the EU countries.
The decision to introduce new visa rules was taken by the Bulgarian cabinet of ministers on Wednesday January 26, 2011. According to the Bulgarian cabinet, the new visa policy will spur the tourist interest and will make Bulgaria more attractive to foreign investors.
Schengen visa owners will be able to get permission to enter Bulgaria and stay on its territory for a period of up to 3 months during the six months from the date of first entry.
It should be noted that the new visa rules in Bulgaria will be useful not only for the EU citizens, but also tourists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, who have a Schengen visa.
New measures, inter alia, must stir up not only the tourism sector, but also resort property market in Bulgaria. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008 leading Black Sea resorts in Bulgaria have marked decreasing of the square meter price. Opportunity to visit the country for Schengen owners will facilitate entry of potential buyers and will indirectly stimulate the demand for Bulgarian property.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria, in 2011 its consulates issued in total 733 623 visas, which is by 18% more than in 2010.
