Stefan Dragostinov is a composer and conductor whose works have won top positions in the international ratings all over the world.
His music ranges over a variety of genres from the song miniatures to the monumental symphonic canvases. It includes six symphonies, a ballet, chamber works, and scenic music. The folklore and its evolution by way of the composer's creative work have been one of the branches in Stefan Dragostinov's activities as a composer and conductor.

The Dragostin Folk National consists of twelve women-singers with "golden" voices. They are continuing the ancient Balkan tradition of the so-called "open", "guttural" women's singing. Among them a special vividness brings the unique dramatic contralto (contralto-profundo - a definition made by Dragostinov). She can sing the C two octaves bellow the middle C (according to the Italian terminology - Do- grande.)
