  • Richard Galliano honorary guest at National Chamber Orchestra

    Legendary jazz accordionist Richard Galliano will be the honorary
    guest of the anniversary concert of the National Chamber Orchestra of
    Armenia

    09:40, 23 November, 2012

    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.
