Armenian music will play at Sochi Olympics. Famous Armenian duduk
player Gevorg Dabaghyan has been invited to participate in the 7th
International Winter Music Festival in Sochi. The event, which takes
place from February 6 to 20, has been organized by renowned Russian
musician Yuri Bashmet.
Gevorg Dabaghyan first played with Bashmet in Italy, where the two
performed a work by Vache Sharafyan. The second meeting took place at
the Moscow Conservatory. The acquaintance has grown into friendship
over the past seven years.
In Sochi the two musicians will play a 15-minute composition based
on the works by Vache Sharafyan and Komitas.
Speaking to Public Radio of Armenia, Gevorg Dabaghyan said he believes
participation in this large-scale event is a good opportunity to cheer
our athletes and present the Armenian music to guests from different
parts of the world.
"The secret of attractiveness of duduk lies in it simplicity and
frankness, it needs no additional decorations," Dabaghyan said. "There
is also Armenian spiritual kindness and honesty in duduk," he added.
The 22nd Winter Olympic Games take place in Sochi, Russia, from
February 7-23.
