    Hovsepian, Beletsky to perform

    Pianist Levon Hovsepian and cellist Arkady Beletsky will present
    an afternoon concert of chamber music at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 2,
    at the Belmont Public Library. The free concert, which will be held
    in the Assembly Room, is sponsored by the Friends of the Library as
    part of the Music on Sunday series.

    Hovsepian and Beletsky, who are both on the faculty of the Indian
    Hill Music Center in Littleton, will perform works by Bach,
    Beethoven, Brahms, Arutunian, Prokofiev, and Popper. Hovsepian also
    teaches at the Powers Music School in Belmont.

    Both Hovsepian and Beletsky began performing professionally as
    children and achieved performing careers overseas before moving to
    the Boston area. A graduate of the Komitas Conservatory in Soviet
    Armenia, Hovsepian performed throughout Armenia, Estonia and Moldova
    and appeared as a soloist with the Yerevan Symphony Orchestra and on
    Armenian national television. After attracting major critical
    attention in Armenia, he was invited to study at the Longy School of
    Music in Cambridge. He made his New York debut in 1994 and became
    known for his compelling interpretive style and expansive technique.
    He was a prize winner at the Arlington Concerto Competition and has
    appeared as a soloist with the Salem Philharmonic Orchestra, the New
    England Philharmonic Orchestra, WGBH radio, and Moscow Radio.

    Beletsky was born in Kiev, Ukraine and completed his master's degree
    in music at the Gnesin Institute of Music in Moscow. In 1983 he
    founded the Renaissance Chamber Ensemble, which rose to prominence as
    one of the most prolific and well-regarded chamber groups in
    pre-Perestroika Russia, headlining over 1,000 concerts throughout the
    15 republics of the Soviet Union. In 1989 Beletsky emigrated to the
    U.S. with his family. Since then, he has performed solo, chamber and
    orchestral work at Jordan Hall, Sanders Theater and Mechanics Hall,
    has participated in numerous music festivals, and has made a live
    appearance on WGBH's "Morning Pro Musica."

    For more information about the concert please call 617-489-2000,
