Armenian pianist and composer Artur Bobikyan is giving a recital
called My Keys to Christmas at the Cathedral Church of St Marie in
Sheffield, England, on Tuesday, the Sheffield Telegraph reports.
The programme includes works and arrangements by Mendelssohn, Wade,
Watts, Gruber, Tchaikovsky, Haroutunian, Khachaturian, Komitas and
Bobikyan on a seasonal theme.
My Keys To Christmas is the title of an album Bobikyan recorded at the
Royal College of Music in Manchester.
The concert pianist, organist and composer graduated as a pianist from
Yekmalian Music School and later combined performing with compostion
at the Tchaikovsky Music School.
At the age of 14 he won the title of Pianist of the Year in Armenia

across Europe.
He was the organ curator for nine years at the prestigious Cathedral
of Holy Echmiadzin.
As a composer (which apparently began at the age of seven) Bobikyan's
portfolio includes piano and violin concertos, preludes for organ and
piano and choral arrangements.
He has even turned his hand to scores for TV advertisements and a
musical. They have been performed by the BBC singers and the London
Symphony Orchestra and heard on BBC Radio 4 and Classic FM.
He himself has performed at the Royal Festival Hall, Westminster
Abbey, Cathedral Grant Trinity Paris, Armenian National Opera and the
Aram Khachaturian Philharmonic Music Hall and in front of a variety of
luminaries from Pope John Paul II to Jean-Claude Van Damme and Charles
Aznavour.
