The famous Dutch “The Rosenberg Trio” will play in Bulgaria Hall on June 21, at 20.00 hrs. The gypsy-jazz band, consisting of the three cousins Nonnie, Nous'che and Stochelo Rosenberg is among the most popular in Europe. The Rosenberg Trio are two guitarists and one bassist—Stochelo Rosenberg (soloist), Nous'che Rosenberg (rhythm guitar) and Nonnie Rosenberg (double bass) from The Netherlands. Their inspiration is Django Reinhardt, the legendary gypsy guitarist of the 1930s. The Rosenberg Trio's genre has been characterized as "swing gypsy guitar jazz". The musicians of the trio are playing since childhood days developing their talent and reflecting the best traditions of the gypsy music artistry.

The Rosenberg Trio has 16 studio and live albums and compilations and have been awarded various prizes.In 1980 Stochelo and his trio were awarded the prize for best musician at a child’s musical contest on dutch television, and since then the trio has been constantly on the rise, on a course that has now taken them worldwide to play on the most reputed stages, including a show at New York’s Carnegie Hall for legendary violonist Stephane Grapelli’s 85th birthday celebration. The Rosenberg trio’s discographic debut, “Seresta” was the start of a series of albums. The Trio’s latest album, released in may 2007, is simply named “Roots” and pays a large tribute to Django’s tunes and also features some of Stochelo’s compositions and other.



The group has been playing for around 15 years and notable events include the release of a DVD featuring a live recording of a tribute concert to Django Reinhardt, and the 1992 live album The Rosenberg Trio: Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival, which captures the trio at an eclectic, youthful highpoint.
There is no exact date when the Rosenberg Trio began playing under that name. Two of the Rosenbergs, Nous'che and Nonnie, are sons of Sani Rosenberg, a musician in the Dutch Gypsy community. Being kids of a very musical family they grew up with the music of Django Reinhardt. Nous'che started playing with his cousin and buddy, Stochelo Rosenberg, when Stochelo was about 10 years old.
