Sima Musical Trio Performs in Montreal
On May 29, 2011, the music-loving segment of Montreal's Armenian
community had the exceptional opportunity to attend a concert by the
Sima musical trio at the Jirair and Elise Dervishian Hall of the city's
AGBU Center. The New Jersey trio performed in a concert organized by the
Cultural Committee of AGBU Montreal. The event enjoyed the patronage of
Mr. and Mrs. Armen-Garo Gundjian.
The members of the trio are pianist Sofya Melikyan, cellist Ani
Kalayjian, and violinist Sami Merdinian. The young musicians began
performing as a trio two years ago and have since toured Argentina,
Canada, Spain, and the United States. The musicians have also won the
top prize in the J.C. Arriga Musical Festival. Sami Merdinian was
recently annointed "the most prominent artist of the year" by the
Argentinean press.
The concert included such diverse works as the piano trios of Gayaneh
Tchebodarian, Felix Mendelssohn, Joseph Haydn, and Arno Babadjanian. The
Sima musical trio gave an outstanding performance, and they were praised
for their high performing culture and professionalism. Moreover, they
were recognized for their noble dedication to their art.
