The apples often don't fall far from the tree: Vivi Vassileva and Vasko Vassilev come from a Bulgarian family of musicians. While one is making a name for herself internationally as a percussionist, her 24-year-old older brother - who was also concertmaster of King Charles III's coronation orchestra - plays violin in the orchestra of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden as principal guest concertmaster. He is also the founder of the Covent Garden Soloists, with whom he now accompanies his »little sister« in one of her performances as »Great Talent« of the current season, including arrangements of baroque classics and a Gershwin medley. Brazilian guitar virtuoso Lucas Campara Diniz provides spirited nuances of a different nature and exotic nuances.
