    CONCERTS OF STATE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA OF ARMENIA IN GERMANY, SLOVAKIA AND CZECH REPUBLIC ARE BRILLIANT:
    TOURS OF KOMITAS STRING QUARTET FOLLOW THEM

    Noyan Tapan News Agency, Armenia
    Nov 8 2006

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The State
    Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia (SPOA) as well for the first time
    participated in the annual authoritative festivals of classic music
    held in September and October in Germany, Slovakia and the Czech
    Republic. As SPOA Director Ruzan Sirunian stated at the November 7
    press conference, the orchestra concerts were held brilliantly and
    enjoyed the spectators' warm reception. During the festivals the
    orchestra performed Aram Khachaturian's Concert for Violin, pieces
    from the Spartak ballet, Tchaikovsky's "Pathetic" Symphony No6,
    Shostakovich's Symphony No6 and other works.

    R.Sirunian mentioned that after the successes having had in Germany,
    the SPOA was involved in the Meistersingerhallen concert season
    of Nuremberg, and the Bratislava and Prague festivals organizations
    proposed the SPOA to cooperate in future as well and to be continuously
    involved in their festival programs. "We have high-quality orchestra,
    but it is very difficult to perform with orchestras like the BBC,
    Czech philharmonic orchestras. But, performances of our orchestra were
    received with "bravos" and "encores." We again proved the world that
    the SPOA has high professional readiness and may perform in any country
    where they like and estimate classic music" R.Sirunian mentioned.

    As Ashot Grigorian, the head of the Armenian community of Slovakia,
    the main organizer of the Armenian Culture Days in Slovakia, informed
    Noyan Tapan, they got a great number of phone calls from the concert
    spectators who expressed words of admiration concerning the exclusive
    high professional performance of the Philharmonic Orchestra of
    Armenia and especially concerning chief conductor Eduard Topchian's
    skillfulness. And now, in A.Grigorian's words, lovers of the classic
    music in Bratislava wait impatiently for the next concert: performance
    of their favourite quartet after Komitas. The quartet will go on
    tours to Slovakia and the Czech Republic on November 13.

    As the Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by Eduard Tadevosian,
    the artistic head of the quartet, the quartet received the invitation
    to perform concerts from Ashot Grigorian, the Chairman of the Armenian
    community of Slovakia. The concerts being organized in Slovakia will
    be held within the framework of the Days of Armenian Culture. Works
    of Tchaikovksy, Shostakovich as well as Arno Babajanian's quartet
    dedicated to the memory of Shostakovich will be performed at the
    concerts.

    Ashot Grigorian mentioned in his turn that the quartet's concerts
    in Prague will give special brilliance to the music festival, and in
    this issue, he is too grateful to Aleksan Sargsian, the Chairman of
    the Armenian Union of the city of Jihlava, the Czech Republic, who
    undertook organization of the quartet's concerts in Prague (November
    16) and Jihlava (November 17).

    It also became known that after the concerts in the Czech Republic
    and Slovakia, the quartet will leave for Moscow to take part in the
    jubilee concert dedicated to Arno Babajanian's 85th anniversary.

    Conductor Konstantin Orbelian will head the concert to take place at
    the Music House hall of Moscow on November 28. Armenian and Russian
    pop singers will also participate in the concert.
