The "Perspectives of the 21st" 10th International Music Festival in
Yerevan has hosted Moscow's Easter Festival.
Today the Armenian society has an exceptional opportunity to listen
to the compositions of Vagner, Chaykovski, Shchedrin and Mirzoyan
performed by the Symphonic Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre headed
by Valery Gergiev.
Preceding the concert the renowned conductor will hold an open
rehearsal at the hall of the Yerevan State Conservatory with the
State Youth Orchestra of Armenia. Celebrated ballerina Mya Pisetskaya,
composer Rodion Shchedrin, and pianist Denis Matsuev will be present
at the event.
"Music is not a job for me. Neither do I want to say it's my life. I
will simply say that if not music, I would do something else. But I
don't think I would live an interesting life."
In 1981 Valery Gergiev headed the State Philharmonic Orchestra
of Armenia.
"My four-year activity in Armenia was an invaluable trial of great
importance. I made many friends in those years."
Valery Gergiev last visited Yerevan 21 years ago. The aim of the
short visit was to meet the old friends. "I like interesting people,
and I have met many interesting individuals among Armenians," Gergiev
said and added that it is necessary to support the youth. Th is is
the only way towards bright future, he concluded.
