Lexington - Lexington composer Hayg Boyadjian's symphonic composition
"Armenian Suite" will receive its first public performance in Yerevan,
the capital of Armenia, on April 13 at the famous Aram Khatchaturian
Concert Hall.
The concert will also include works by three American composers:
"Fireheart" for chamber ensemble by Matthew Fields; "Huatzu Hill"
for soprano and chamber orchestra by Marilyn Bliss; "Andromeda"
concerto for piano and orchestra by Elizabeth Bell; and also a work
by Armenian composer Edward Sadoyan, "Threes Words About Armenia"
for chamber orchestra.
Featured will be the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by
Ruben Asatryan, the soloists will include soprano Gayane Gegamyan
and pianist Haik Melikyan.
Soprano Gegamyan has premiered many works by Yerevan-Armenian
composers, and also works by Boyadjian (among others three German
text songs for soprano and piano written especially for her), and
she has also sung songs by Bliss.
Pianist-composer Melikyan is a musician of renown in Armenia and
Europe for his performances of contemporary music. He has performed
in Yerevan works by Marilyn Bliss, and in June 2008 he premiered
Boyadjian's first movement of his large fourth piano sonata at a solo
concert at the Komidas Hall in Yerevan.
Bliss will travel to Yerevan for this April concert, she traveled for
the first time to Yerevan a few years ago where she had a solo concert
of her compositions from which she returned very much impressed,
about the music, and about the city.
Boyadjian's "Armenian Suite" was originally written as a commission
piece for trombone and piano in 2005. A version for two oboes and piano
followed, and later on came the present version for symphony orchestra.
"Armenian Suite" has been recorded by the Polish Radio Symphony
Orchestra under the direction of David Oberg and is due to come out
soon on Opus One CD Recordings, and will be available on Amazon.com,
as are Boyadjian's other recordings.
