    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Renowned French composer Michel Legrand is arriving
    in Yerevan on September 12 to give his first solo concert in his
    motherland.

    The concert is scheduled for September 15 in Yerevan in Aram

    Legran performed group concerts.

    The concert is organized by RA Culture Ministry in cooperation with

    Malkhasyan.

    "Michel Legrand is surely an eminent personality in world music. His
    creative art produced tangible impact on many musicians, including
    me. In his upcoming Concert, he will act as conductor, play music
    and probably sing," Levon Malhasyan said.

    Public in Yerevan will probably have the chance to listen to Legran's
    melodies, as well as jazz standards and vocal composition, Malkhasyan
    added. The composer is this time coming to Armenia together with
    Christine Legrand (vocal) and Catherine Michel (harp).

    Legrand was born in 1932 in Paris in the family of French composer and

    Ter-Mikayelyan. Future musician gained his first musical experience
    from his father. At age 11, he entered Paris Conservatory. Upon
    graduation, he moved to United States where he started writing
    music for films. Legrand's music for The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,
    The Young Girls of Rochefort and many other motion pictures became
    masterpieces of cinema art. His musical compositions have been
    performed by well-known piano players Oscar Peterson, Caunt Beisya
    and Charlie Parker. Michel Legrand his a winner of 3 Oscar and 5
