    is that they will be organized at the open-air hall of the Moscow

    festival. "I do not know any other capital which has such a wonderful
    open-air hall," A. Gharabekian added.

    Touching upon the festival title, maestro mentioned that the term
    "open" symbolizes people's open hearts, free way of thinking and
    tolerance. The festival will represent both famous musicians of Armenia
    and artists and companies arrived from abroad, including accordeonist
    and bandoneonist Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi, clarnetist Michel
    Lethiec, Mezzo-soprano Anna Maria Chiuri and saxophonist Federico
    Mondelci. Famous jazz pionist Tigran Hamasian will also perform.
