The story of Dimitar Hodzhev is about dedication and deep loyalty to music and children. Born into a family of musicians, he takes on the path of his father – with a violin in his hand, without raising his voice, but with demand, patience and love. He teaches, conducts, plays and leads his students not only through the notes, but also through the memory of the city. For them, music is not noise, but an experience. Dimitar Hodzhev remains as a teacher who does not punish ignorance, but turns it into a desire to listen, sing and remember.
