    LITHUANIAN VIOLONCELLIST CONSIDERS ARMENIANS ONE OF PEOPLES OF EUROPE HAVING RICHEST CULTURE

    YEREVAN, MARCH 21, NOYAN TAPAN. Lithuanian cellist and conductor David
    Geringas' concert takes place in Yerevan on March 21 and 23. The Music
    Information Center of Armenia initiated the concert of the cellist
    arrived in Armenia and his wife, pianist Tatyana Geringas, within
    the framework of the "Perspectives of 21st." As Stepan Rostomian, the
    artistic head of the center informed at the March 20 press-conference,
    David Geringas' visit to Armenia must be considered as a great event
    as he is one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. According
    to S.Rostomian, Geringas is considered one of the best cellist
    teachers as well, and Armenian cellist Alexander Chavushian and
    Vahe Rostomian are among his students. According to David Geringas,
    he is acquainted with the Armenian culture and history and considers
    Komitas' "Krunk" (crane) to be one of the world masterpieces. "Works
    of not only Komitas but of a number of other Armenian composers must
    enter the international field as those are such works which deserve
    world recognition. Armenians are supposed one of the peoples of Europe
    having the richest culture," the cellist mentioned. Geringas is going
    to include some of Edvard Mirzoyan's and Tigran Masurian's works in
    his programme. He also mentioned that Stepan Rostomian writes music for
    him. S.Rostomian informed that it's already the 7th year that concerts
    of famous musicians are organized in Armenia within the framework
    of the "Perspectives of 21st" festival, and the festival became one
    of the most representative cultural events in Armenia and the CIS
    territory. But, according to the composer, the RA Ministry of Culture
    and Youth Issues has never assisted in organizing the concerts. "There
    is no cultural policy in Armenia, and our culture suffers of periodical
    change of Ministers" I think not the Minister but the way of action
    of that institute must be changed," the composer emphasized.
