"There is play and life in baroque, that is why it is understandable
and loved by everyone", tenor Karen Hakobyan said a press conference
in the House of Journalists today.
June 21-July 8 Baroque music festival will be held for the first time
in Yerevan. 9 concerts will be performed, 6 of them - in the House
of Chamber Music, 2 - in the cultural center of Narekatsi and 1 - in
the school after Spendiarov. The price of tickets fluctuates between
500-1000 AMD. "If people can afford going to a cafe they can afford
going for a concert as well", conductor Aram Talalyan noted.
He marked two principal goals of the festival, these being to present
the music to the audience and offer the young musicians the opportunity
to perform on the best stages.
Soprano Anna Mailyan is also expected to take part in the festival. "It
is a brilliant idea. There exist parallels between the works of
the middle ages and Baroque taste. Since the Armenian people have
wonderful medieval art, they will comprehend the Baroque taste as
well", the singer said. Due to the lock of funds concerts will be
held in Yerevan only.
To note, the term "baroque" means "unpolished pearl". It appeared in
Europe in 19-20 centuries and penetrated into the 1920-ies.
