LOS ANGELES, AUGUST 20, ARMENPRESS. Erna Yuzbashyan's name is
inseparably connected with the best traditions of the Armenian variety
art both in Armenia and beyond its borders. The popular singer,
who has settled in the United States since 1994, is not fond of
being praised, despite the fact that she has passed a way full of
professional success and creative achievements.
Instead, she prefers direct personal intercourse. "Armenpress"
introduces an interview with the prominent Armenian singer dedicated
to a vast variety of issues.
- Erna, what was Your reaction when You received the invitation to
participate in "Music Week in Yerevan" program?
- Director and showman Emil Karat sent me the invitation. He is the
creative Manager of the program. They are introducing the aforesaid
program in association with the Head of "Forpostart" company Zara
Mkheyan. I know Emil for a very long time. He was a student of mine
in the Yerevan State Jazz College. Frankly speaking I am very touched
and I am hopeful that "Music Week in Yerevan" will become a good
tradition. I hope this contact with music will grant the people a
piece of happiness, so to speak.
If not this event, maybe I would not have a chance to perform
Amirkhanyan's works. Who knows? I want to introduce his songs very
much. I performed Amirkhanyan's works in various international contests
until 1987.
- So, You'll introduce new repertoire in comparison with Your previous
concert. What was Your impression from the 2010 concert?
- I had a feeling that something was not expressed, because of the lack
of Amirkhanyan's works. That was my repertoire. Maybe it was my mistake
that those works were not included in my previous concert. I am very
sorry that I did not oppose to Amirkhanyan's categorical decision not
to perform his songs. Notwithstanding, generally the impressions were
positive. I am satisfied, I should have done it and I did it. I'll
introduce some new songs from my last album. Also the audience will
have a chance to listen to Elvina Makaryan's songs as well.
