YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS: The International Festival Yerevan
Prospects launches its autumn concert season. On September 27 one
of the most famous and demanded musicians in the world Evgeny Kissin
will perform at the Aram Khachaturyan Concert Hall.
According to Armenpress, on September 25 during the press conference
the Manager of the Yerevan Prospects Festival Sona Hovhannisyan stated
that the idea to invite Evgeny Kissin to Armenia had emerged about
seven years ago and at that time the Festival contacted Kissin's
managers and did not get any answer. Over the years the authority
of the Festival has grown and in 2008 Evgeny Kissin contacted the
administration of the Festival in person and told that he would come
to Armenia in four years. He chose the solo concert version and will
perform the works of Haydn, Schubert, Beethoven and Liszt.
The President of the Festival Stepan Rostomyan stated that it was
quite difficult to characterize Kissin, as he was one of the most
genius piano players in the world. "He is a great musician and it is
a vast honor for everybody to perform with him", - said Rostomyan,
adding that Armenia had become one of the best cultural centers of
the world. "It has become natural for us to see such celebrities in
Armenia", - emphasized the President of the Festival.
Evgeny Kissin announced that he was very happy to be in Armenia again
and partake in the Festival Yerevan Prospects. "I prefer participating
in those festivals, which are "safe" and well-organized", - emphasized
the musician. According to him, there are countries, where he does not
go to perform for political reasons. "For example, notwithstanding the
fact that I got invitations from Turkey, I do not go to that country
with concerts, as they not only implemented the Armenian Genocide,
but also continue denying it", - said Evgeny Kissin.
The world famous piano player Evgeny Kissin was rewarded with all the
possible music awards, including two Grammies. "The awards, certainly,
make me happy, but I have never strived for them. I do not know even
if there are any other awards beside those, which I have already got",
- said the musician.
The International Festival Yerevan Prospects was organized under the
auspices of the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan.
