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.
