Rehearsals
Weekly choir rehearsals take place at Sofia Art Gallery which is in the basement at the Bulgarian Embassy in South Kensington.
The sessions consist of a 15 minute warm up with stretching and Dessi's unique throat exercises. The rest of the session is split in two halves of learning new songs, rehearsing existing ones, and laughing a lot as Dessi marvels us with her singing analogies.
Every Tuesday 7:30 - 9.30pm. Newer people should come at 7pm to revise existing repertoire.

Dessi has restarted the 'Wednesday Group' for learners who want to join the performing choir. If you'd like more information, contact Dessi. If you want to get a head start, book a lesson or go to one of her workshops.
Rehearsals are not open to the general public. If you have a particular interest, please contact Dessi.
Music and practice recordings (choir only)
Here is a (slightly misleading) map. We're sometimes in the art gallery in the Embassy basement, which houses the Bulgarian Cultural Institute. Go through the gate in the railing at the corner of Queens Gate and Prince Consort Road, and down the steps. If the gallery is busy being a gallery, the Embassy kindly lets us rehearse upstairs. Please contact us beforehand so that we can get the right things done with Embassy security.
