In 2015, Yordan Kamdzhalov assumed charge as artistic director and chief conductor of the internationally convened Bulgarian GENESIS ORCHESTRA. Being pivotal for the Conceptual Cultural Platform of the Yordan Kamdzhalov Foundation, this format brings together established Bulgarian musicians from Bulgaria, Europe and the world. Lead by their professionalism, experience and passion for art, they join forces to open new dimensions and feed in fresh impulses to develop the cultural domain. As leading performers in renowned cultural centres in Europe and the world, in addition to being cultural donors, the orchestra members act as a kind of ambassadors for the country. In 2018, the orchestra had its first CD release for the acclaimed German label CPO, which was nominated for the prestigious Opus Klassik Award in the category ‘Recording of the Year 2019’.
