    SERGEY SMBATYAN CONDUCTS THE KOREAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA: A MAGICAL FUSION OF MUSIC AND LITERATURE

    17:59, 15 Jan 2015

    On January 14 Sergey Smbatyan, the artistic director and principal
    conductor of the State Youth Orchestra of Armenia conducted the Korean
    Chamber Orchestra. The concert took place at the Concert Hall of the
    Seoul Arts Center.

    Undoubtedly, this exceptional evening presented the unforgettable
    memories to the hundreds of listeners: they became a part of a magical
    fusion of classic music and literature.

    The audience enjoyed the simultaneous performance of the Concerto
    for Piano and Orchestra by Alfred Schnittke, one of the most eminent
    musical figures of the second half of the XX century, and the narration
    of the novel entitled "On heroes and tombs" by Ernesto Sabato, one
    of the most remarkable writers of Latin America. Sabato's piece is
    considered to be the best Argentine novel of the XX century and a
    magnificent example of the "magic realism", a genre founded by Borges,
    Amado, Marquez and the author himself.

    During the concert the Korean Chamber Orchestra performed jointly on
    the same stage with the pianist Ksenia Kogan, soprano Yeree Suh and
    the narrator, the world-renowned Hollywood actor John Malkovich.

    John Malkovich is an American film and theater actor, producer,
    director and screenwriter, numerous prizes' awardee, including 2
    "Oscars", 3 "Golden Globes", 3 "Emmies."
