Todor Kolev '83

Hilda Kazasyan was born in Sofia in a family of musicians. She started singing as early as at 4 years of age, with children’s songs recorded at The National Radio. At the age of 9, together with Todor Kolev, she sang the song “Big ones, small ones” which became immediately a real hit. Even as a schoolgirl she became a soloist of the Youth Big Band which toured across Russia (at that time still the USSR). Later on, already as a marimba soloist of a string orchestra, she toured England. Hilda Kazasyan has graduated from “Lyubomir Pipkov” School of Music with percussion instruments. Then she continued her studies in the classical department of the Conservatoire, again with percussions. Right after her graduation from Sofia Academy of Music, she majored for one year percussion instruments in Saluzzo – Italy…..
