/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Renowned Ian Gillan, soloist of legendary Deep
Purple gave a concert with Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra in Yerevan
on March 26.
`The Orchestra with no experience in playing rock music demonstrated
professionalism and I was surprised that musicians knew all songs in
the program,' Gillan told a news conference on Saturday. `Armenia is
my spiritual homeland. It has nothing to do with religion... I just like
you, Armenians.'
The concert organizers (Mediamax director Ara Tadevosyan and Jon Dee,
the Founder and Chairman of the Australian Do Something organization
and Rock Aid Armenia project initiator) informed that the Smoke on the
Water single recorded 20 years ago as the 1988 earthquake relief, as
well as the Yerevan concert will be put on a DVD.
VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian said, for his part, `It is
an honor for us to be a part of such a project.'
The concerts proceeds will be spent on reconstruction of a music
school in Gyumri.
