    Armenian classical artists to perform at Boston's Gardner Museum

    The fall Sunday Concert Series at the brand new Calderwood Hall of the
    Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will feature three rising Armenian
    artists, The Armenian Mirror-Spectator reports.

    On September 23, clarinetist Narek Arutyunian will appear in his
    recital debut, accompanied by pianist Solon Gordon. Their program will
    feature an eclectic mix, ranging from Schumann to Schoenfield with
    Debussy and Bernstein and Donatoni in between. The 20-year-old
    Arutyunian was most recently the featured soloist at the Armenian
    Night at the Pops, where he dazzled the audience who packed the
    sold-out Symphony Hall with his energetic performances with the Boston
    Pops and Keith Lockhart. A student of Charles Neidich at the Juilliard
    School, he is the 2010 winner of the prestigious Young Concert
    Auditions of New York.

    Also no stranger to Boston audiences, cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan will
    take the stage on Sunday, October 7. Hakhnazaryan, 23, won the gold
    medal at the Tchaikovsky International Competition in 2011 and
    received his artist diploma at the New England Conservatory, sponsored
    by the Alice and Violet Ohanasian/Friends of Armenian Culture Society
    Scholarship Fund.

    Along with his pianist of choice, Noreen Polera, Hakhnazaryan will
    perform music by Cesar Frank, Ligeti, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and
    Schumann. (The Schumann work, Fantasiestucke, Op. 73, is the cello
    version of the work by the same composer and title on Narek
    Arutyunian's program.)

    Finally, on October 21, pianist Nareh Arghamanyan will be the featured
    artist in a piano recital. Aghamanyan is the winner of the 2008
    Montreal International Music Competition who received her professional
    training at the University for Music and Pe r forming Arts in Vienna.
    She has appeared in concerts in Boston (also with the Boston Pops),
    Tanglewood and the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont. She will
    perform the music of Bach, Schumann and Rachmaninoff.

    The Rachmaninoff set of Etudes-Tableaux presented, are selections from
    a CD album released earlier this year by Arghamanyan.
