For major events the Ensemble invites additional musicians

All members of EnsembleVoivodintsi are amateurs, whether dancers, singers or musicians. In their daily lives they are very busy studying and working. Nevertheless, everyone finds time and energy to come to rehearsals after work or school and to practice very hard. The whole group enjoys singing, dancing and just being together. Voivodintsi is not only an ensemble - it is a “folk family,” where everyone shares, celebrates and helps one another.  

The repertoire of the Ensemble is based on the authentic folk material from different folklore regions of Bulgaria . Iliana Bozhanova’s role is to find and teach interesting songs, dances and rituals that are suited to the abilities of the group’s members, and to enable them to present the folklore to the best of their abilities, as well as enjoy themselves.  

The Ensemble has eight different sets of folk costumes. The newest children’s costumes were made by several women who are parents or members of the group. Ensemble members work together whenever possible to refresh and repair the costumes themselves.
