YEREVAN
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 11, ARMENPRESS. In frames of 6th Return Festival of
Classic Music Concert dated to October 18 will not take place. Joint
concert program of State Youth Orchestra of Armenia and organizational
committee of Return Festival entitled "Aram Khachaturyan Contest:
Return" was canceled. In a conversation with "Armenpress" founder
of Return festival Mariam Shahinyan informed us that the reason for
canceling the concert is that the orchestra takes no notice of the oral
agreement of both sides and puts forward new demands. Shahinyan said:
"New financial demands have been put forward when there are only 10
days remaining for the concert". According to her this is the first
time in the history of the festival that a concert is not merely
postponed, but removed from the program list of the festival.
The founder of the festival mentioned that in the concert that should
have taken place on October 18 violinist Fyodor Roudin form Germany,
saxophonist Hayrapet Arakelyan and State Youth Orchestra of Armenia
would have been represented to the audience.
In a conversation with "Armenpress" director of SYOA Anna
Ter-Hovakimyan said: "If the orchestra is an equal organizer of
the concert, that is to say it cares for a number of organizational
financial needs, then in frames of the concert program it must be
represented as a co organizer, what was not taken into consideration
by the organizers". In her opinion if SYOA is represented as just
a participant of the concert program, as an artist and not a co
organizer, that it must be paid correspondingly, as all other artists.
Notwithstanding, both sides do not exclude the possibility of future
cooperation, but instead of oral agreements they will prefer contracts
in written form, where responsibilities of both parties will be
clearly defined.
