Recently, in November 2006 he has graduated ‘jazz composition and arranging’ in the same school.

And in January 2007 Dimitar won the Young Pianist Foundation Jazz Competition 2007.Band/artist history
The led by the Bulgarian pianist and composer Dimitar Bodurov has been in demand since September 2001. Through the years, the band worked out a large repertoire of mainly original compositions, though the Bulgarian folklore tradition influences more and more the sound of the trio. In early 2004, the band has released its debut album ‘Melatonic’, for the Norwegian label Acoustic Records, with exclusively own compositions. John Taylor commented it as: ‘A marvelous debut! ’. As a result of Bodurov’s passion for Bulgarian folklore music the following two projects came to life: ‘The Resumption Suite’ 2005 and ‘Stamps from Bulgaria’ 2007, their latest project. The band has toured in Holland, Germany, Belgium, Austria and Bulgaria.Have you performed in front of an audience?Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria
