On January 29 Sergey Smbatyan, the Artistic Director and Principal
Conductor of the State Youth Orchestra of Armenia performed in
Moscow, leading the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra (Music Director
and Chief Conductor: Pavel Kogan), one of the most prestigious Russian
orchestras. The audience was presented the Vocalise by Rachmaninov, the
Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra on the theme of Paganini (soloist:
the winner of numerous international competitions Andrey Gunin)
and the Symphony No.4 by Tchaikovsky.
Speaking about the bright impressions of the yesterday's concert,
Ekaterina Polozhenceva, the manager of the guest artists of the
Federal State Institution of Culture said: "It was interesting to
listen to the orchestra's performance under the guidance of Sergey
Smbatyan. But this cooperation wasn't the first one with the young
conductor: as always he has justified all our expectations!"
The MSSO was founded in 1943 by the Kremlin and is one of the five
oldest concert orchestras in Russia. The Moscow State Symphony
Orchestra became renowned around the globe under the leadership
of Pavel Kogan. In 1989 he was engaged as Music Director and Chief
Conductor and immediately enriched the orchestra repertoire by the
works of European and American musical literature. During last 25
years the MSSO regularly performed overseas including the USA, United
Kingdom, Japan, Spain, Austria, Italy, Germany, France, South Korea,
Australia, China and Switzerland.
The Moscow performance became Sergey Smbatyan's second foreign
concert in 2015. Earlier, on January 14, Artistic Director and
Principal Conductor of the Youth Orchestra performed jointly with
the world-renowned Hollywood actor John Malkovich in Seoul leading
the Korean Chamber Orchestra.
