HistoryEdit
The 432 Chamber orchestra was founded by Ivan Yanakiev with the support of fellow conductor Alexandros Geralis in Autumn 2013 as an experimental ensemble. Yanakiev involved eight players in the experiment. The main goal then was to see how the 432 Hz concert pitch sounded on acoustic instruments. The tuning of the instruments was also modified by the application of the so-called open fifths.[1]
In September 2014, Yanakiev gathered thirteen players and after two months of rehearsing, they made the rеcording of Edvard Grieg's "Holberg" Suite.
ConcertsEdit
In 2015, the 432 Chamber Orcehstra held two concerts, on 18 May[2] in "Studio 1" Bulgarian National Radio, organized by "Hristo Botev" programme[3] and on 22 December in "Dr. Long" church, organized by Mrs Veneta Neynska from MODO.BG.[4]
The first concert of the year 2016 was on 13 March in Studio 5 Club.[5]
