Updated: January 3, 2014
GLENDALE - Dilijan Chamber Music Series celebrates the 75th birthday
anniversary of the beloved composer Tigran Mansurian with a special
concert on January 12 at Zipper Hall. The concert features six chamber
works by Armenia's foremost living composer known around the world
through the breathtakingly beautiful catalog of recordings on the ECM
New Series label.
With Tigran Mansurian in attendance, works of varying styles and
spanning almost 40 years will be presented, from uncompromisingly
modernistic Violin Sonata No.2 (1965) and the wild `Allegro Barbaro'
(1964) to the US Premiere of the haunting Parable (2012) for solo
clarinet, and the transparent Lotos (2013) for solo viola, written for
the most recent Munich International Viola Competition as the
mandatory piece. Also, Romances by R. Melikyan, and Sept Sequences by
B. Gelalian will be performed. Distinguished participating artists are
soprano Shoushik Barsoumian, pianist Mark Robson, clarinetist Phil
O'Connor, flutist Salpy Kerkonian, Artistic Director violinist Movses
Pogossian, violist Robert Brophy, cellist Antonio Lysy, and the
Dilijan Chamber Ensemble conducted by Vatsche Barsoumian.
The new season of the Dilijan Series is dedicated to the 75th birthday
anniversary of Tigran Mansurian. Continuing its mission of bringing
new works to life, the Dilijan Series presents three world premieres
from Paul Chihara, Artashes Kartalyan, and Vartan Adjemian, bringing
the total of its commissions to 26. Among the distinguished
instrumentalists appearing this season are clarinetist Michele
Zukovsky, guitarist David Starobin, violinist Guillaume Sutre,
violists Carrie Dennis and Richard O'Neill, cellists Clive Greensmith,
Ronald Leonard, Robert deMaine, pianists Svetlana Navassardian and
