Superstar singer Celine Dion has signed on a unique Bulgarian cellist to play in the small string section of the 31 musicians who will be onstage during her new show.
For more than 10 years, Bulgarian Irina Chirkova has lived in America and graduated from the Boston Conservatoire.
She's a pop artist in addition to the classics, having played for P.Diddy and Kanye West and recently took part on the new solo album of Las Vegas resident Sully Erma of Godsmack.
Irina recalls that she decided to move abroad after the first year in Sofia Conservatoire because she figured making your way up in Bulgaria was very difficult
"
I applied at the Boston Conservatoire just for the sport of it but won a scholarship,"
Irina says.
The premiere of Dion's Caesars Palace show has been scheduled for March 15.
