World famous pianist Julia Zilberquit gave a concert in Yerevan on
Tuesday and participated in the opening of a new season of State
Youth Orchestra of Armenia.
During the press conference in Yerevan, Zilberquit shared her thoughts
about renowned Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian and impressions
about Armenia.
The famous pianist said she had participated five times in annual
concerts dedicated to the Armenian Genocide and Holocaust which are
held in New York.
"The concerts are held in a huge Saint John church in New York every
fall. It is usually attended by several thousands, including the
mayor of New York," she said.
Julia Zilberquit noted she had performed the works of Aram Khachaturian
in the past.
"It is classics. Khachaturian is a part of our repertoire, just
as Mozart, Bach and Shostakovich," she emphasized. "It is my first
visit to Yerevan. It is an amazing city, amazing people and wonderful
weather," she added.
Russian-born American pianist Julia Zilberquit has earned critical
acclaim as a recitalist, orchestral soloist, chamber musician and
recording artist.
In 2008, Ms. Zilberquit premiered Slonimsky's Jewish Rhapsody for
Piano and Orchestra, which was commissioned by and dedicated to her,
with Leon Botstein and Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, in commemoration
of the 60th Anniversary of the State of Israel in Jerusalem.
