Armenia

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 22, ARMENPRESS. The National Chamber Orchestra of
Armenia will celebrate its 50th anniversary in a unique concert. Ástor
Piazzolla's student, legendary jazz accordionist Richard Galliano will
be the honorary guest of the anniversary concert dedicated to the 50th
anniversary of the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia. In frames of
the concert Richard Galliano will introduce his "Opal" concert to the
Armenian audience.
In a conversation with "Armenpress" the Art Director and Chief
Conductor of the orchestra Vahan Martirosyan stated that they have
prepared a unique concert for the Armenian audience in tango style
accompanied by jazz improvisations. He said: "Richard Galliano has
already been in Armenia once and he expressed the wish to have a
concert in Armenia again. This is a very good occasion, I think."
The Art Director is leading the orchestra since 2011 and to his
opinion the main change during this period of time is that he started
to like the orchestra playing. Vahan Martirosyan stated: "The
orchestra started to play in accordance with my tastes and wishes. Of
course there are several things to be corrected, but the fact that the
orchestra progressed remains."
Vahan Martirosyan is the head of the Symphonic Orchestra of Cannes as
well. During his absence the orchestra is being headed by the
conductors invited from abroad. Among other things Vahan Marirosyan
made the following figurative statement: "This is a right approach,
because the art director is considered to be the mother tongue of the
orchestra, but as you know the state of the nation will not worth
envy, if it knows only one language. The mother tongue must be the
foundation so that the people could learn other languages as well."
A number of surprises are considered in frames of the anniversary
concert, of which Vahan Martirosyan did not want to talk yet.
