The choir's mission is to nurture Bulgarian talent and instill a love for choral art among young individuals aged 16 to 35. It honors Bulgaria's choral traditions while occasionally embracing contemporary trends in choral performance, employing techniques like body percussion and mise-en-scène to enhance their vocal craft.
Founded as Pastoral - female chamber choir in 1987, nowadays the ensemble carries the name of its originator Irina Stiglich.
Тhe choir's repertoire encompasses (or includes) works by both Bulgarian and international composers, spanning eras from the Renaissance to modern times.
They've embarked on concert tours across the country and abroad participating in international choral festivals and competitions.
The choir's transformation into a mixed youth ensemble occurred in early 2020. It strives to rekindle Bulgarian choral traditions and engage a wider audience, particularly the younger generation.
Thematic concerts, such as the recent one under the title of "Love," weave together the narratives of their repertoire, creating performances that resonate with meaning.
In the past year, the choir has also taken on the role of an educational choir school for beginners, offering personalized lessons in solfeggio and vocal technique.
The occasional mentorship of mezzo-soprano Galya Pavlova further enriches the choir's journey. All of the choir's activities are humbly supported by "Slavic Assembly 1880" community center as well as occasional projects by National Fund "Culture" less
