Mr. Valchinov is at the forefront of the violin world. Conductors he has performed with have commented: "His Beethoven Concerto is stellar: performed in the only way it should be played"; "His Dvorak Concerto is incredibly beautiful, one of a kind". America recognized him by giving him a Green Card, based solely on his artistic ability and promise. He performs with orchestras in the US and Europe, serves as a concertmaster of several orchestras in the Boston area, and has an active private teaching studio. His travels have taken him to many European countries, as well as US cities. Bulgarian National TV has made a documentary about him, and he has also been featured on a number of television stations across the US. Mr. Valchinov has also performed for Governor Patrick (MA) and Mayor Thomas Menino (Boston). His teachers include Aaron Rosand, Naoko Tanaka (The Juilliard School), Sergiu Schwartz (adjudicator at major international violin competitions), and Yuri Mazurkevitch (long-time pupil of David Oistrakh). In May of 2008, Mr. Valchinov performed all six of H. W. Ernst’s Polyphonic Etudes, a rare feat. In March of 2009 he performed the Dvorak Concerto at Jordan Hall in Boston, with the

Boston Civic Symphony. Angel Valchinov plays on a J. B. Vuillaume violin of 1863, on a loan from Mr. Max Hobart.
