The Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir is an internationally renowned, Grammy-winning[1] musical ensemble that performs modern arrangements of traditional Bulgarian folk melodies. It is most recognized for its contribution to Marcel Cellier's Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares (The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices) project. First created by Georgi Boyadjiev in 1952 as the Ensemble for Folk Songs of the Bulgarian Radio,[2] the choir is now directed by Dora Hristova. It was granted the name Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares by Marcel Cellier in 1997, in recognition of the fact that it had contributed most of the songs on the original compilations.[3][4]
