In the summer of 2005 LBC toured Bulgaria. The tour was covered in a full-page article in the British Songlines magazine[3] and filmed for Bulgarian television. The choir returned to Bulgaria in August 2010, featuring in national press and television, and performing at the Koprivshtitsa folk festival and the Bansko jazz festival.[4] The choir returned to Bulgaria for a third time in 2015, sang in the Netherlands and in Switzerland in 2016, and performed with violinist Nigel Kennedy in Sofia, Plovdiv[5] and London in the autumn of the same year.[6] In 2019, the choir toured in France[7][8] and Poland.[9]
Dessislava Stefanova was the featured guest on Radio 3's The Choir[38] with Aled Jones in February 2007, and presented Bulgaria's Voice[39] on Radio 3 in 2005. Both programs included recordings of the choir in performance. The choir was featured in an episode of Joan Armatrading's Favourite Choirs on BBC Radio 4 in 2008,[40] and in The Choral History of Britain: Singing for Everyone[41] in 2017.
In 2019, the choir produced original music for the BBC Sounds podcast series The Missing Cryptoqueen.[42][43]
