Georgi Kandilarov

The teacher and enlightener G. Kandilarov, after completing the third grade school, becomes a teacher in his hometown. Teacher's years are closely related to the local community culture center "Saglasie-Napredak". He is one of the first and active members of the centre. When in 1871 for the first time in front of Kotelntsi was presented the six-stage theater production "Mnogostradalna Genoveva", Kandilarov played the role of Genoveva. This role fits in because he has "white and gentle face". This event is crowned by the people of Kotel with a song: "Graf became Petar Ognianov (father of the great Bulgarian artist Sava Ognianov), / Countess - Nikola Mirski (brother of the grandfather of Prof. Krustyu Mirski) / Gotcho Stoyanov Pangyaka (Georgi Kandilarov) white and pink / he is a woman of the stature, of Genoveva, a long-suffering one. / Nikola Tinyu, Vizir.
