YEREVAN, JULY 19, ARMENPRESS: International contest-festival of young
talents "Crimean Waves" took place June 23-28 in the town of Feodosia,
Ukraine. Armenia was represented by Samson Panyan who got the first
award in "Profy" nomination.
Samson Panyan is from Charentsavan and has represented Armenia in
many international contests getting first awards. "Armenpress" spoke
with Samson Panyan about the details of the contest.
- How did you get the invitation to participate in the contest?
- Firstly I must say that for the first time I got an invitation to
participate in the international "Crimean Waves" contest-festival in
2007 when the Armenian Ministry of Culture conveyed the invitation
to the Nadezhda Sargsyan's "Emmy-Bi" cultural center the pupil of
which I was. At that time I performed in the group of non-professional
singers under 25 years old and got a Grand Prix. That year I already
came forth in the category of professionals and got the first prize.
- Who were your main competitors?
- Overall, about 850 people from 20 countries participated in the
event. Armenia was the only country who presented one participant in
the "Profy" nomination. In the final round of the "Profy" nomination
together with me were representatives of Belarus, Ukraine, Russia,
Yakutia, Bulgaria. My rivals were quite succeeded singers and presented
good and remarkable songs. They had special talent of performing and
were exclusive masters which were important factors for participating
in the contest.
- What songs did you select for performing in the contest?
- The first one was M. Toshikyan's "My Ani" work and the second one
Sayat-Nova's "Dard mi ani" song. After performing Sayat-Nova's song
a lot of positive responses were voiced: many were saying that not
knowing Armenian, just listening to the melody they perceived the whole
"Armenianinity" and mystery of the song. And it was not accidental
that at the end of the performance together with congratulations
they all emphasized that during the song it seemed as if Armenia
was in front of them with its wonderful mountains and ancient-long
history. We were aimed at presenting pure Armenian and to voice to
the whole world about our rich culture.
- What new opportunities has this contest opened for you?
- I have received offers to participate in a number of contests and
experience exchange, but they are in the discussion phase.
- When will you have your first clip?
- I hope in autumn I will present my first clip the song for which
is already selected.
