The Royal Konzertgebau Orchestra of Amsterdam will perform at the Aram
Khachatryan Hall on November 9 within the framework of the Yerevan
perspectives 13th international music festival. The orchestra will
be led by legendary conductor Lorin Maazel.
The performance of the orchestra in Yerevan is a cultural shock for
Armenia, Founding President and Artistic Director of the Yerevan
Perspectives Festival, composer Stepan Rostomyan told reporters today.
Stepan Rostomyan is confident that the visits of world-known musicians
serve as an important tool for Armenia. An evidence of this was famous
pianist Evgeny Kissin's condemnation of Turkey's failure to recognize
the Armenian Genocide.
According to General Manager of the Festival Sona Hovhannisyan,
the idea to invite the Royal Orchestra to Armenia was a courageous one.
After serious negotiations the orchestra agreed to give a concert in
Armenia, turning down all other invitations, she said. She informed
that the orchestra will bring 4,400 tones of equipment, including
musical instruments worth $1 mln.
Next Year the Yerevan Perspectives will host the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra. The Festival, which kicked off on September 10, will
continue through November 20. The Artistic Directors are Edward
Topchyan and Alexander Chaushyan. The Festival is held under the high
auspices of President Serzh Sargsyan and Mrs. Rita Sargsyan.
