The world renowned orchestra conductor and composer Ennio Morricone offered three encore performances at the end of his first concert in the Bulgarian capital Sofia.

Morricone performed with the orchestra of Classic FM radio and was accompanied by singer Susanna Rigacci and guitarist Rocco Zifarelli.

Tuesday's concert was Moriconne's last in 2013 and brought together more than 200 Bulgarian musicians, Classic FM's choir and orchestra, as well as talented Bulgarian jazz musician Teodosiy Spassov.
