YEREVAN, OCTOBER 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The 40th anniversary of the Public
TV and Radio Company's Variety Symphonic Orchestra and 60th anniversary
of composer Yervand Yerznkian will be marked on October 25 at the Aram
Khachatrian concert hall. RA People's Artists Raisa Mkrtchian, Ruben
Matevosian, RA Honored Artists Suzan Margarian, Shushan Petrosian,
Hayko, as well as singers of the young generation will take part in
the concert under the title "We are a hundred years old."
"For me, it is a great honor to head this orchestra. I have been trying
to present only high-class music with my musicians for 21 years,"
Y. Yerznkian said in his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent.
Touching upon the activity of the orchestra widely known in the former
Soviet countries, Y. Yerznkian said that though today the orchestra
receives financial support from the state, nevertheless, it is not
enough for organizing concerts, as well as going on tours. In his
opinion, this is the orchestra, which needs a special attitude by
the state. Nevertheless, the composer is sure that in spite of the
difficulties, they will be able to create for many years. "If the
orchestra managed to survive in the difficult years, it means that we
should move forward with much force today as well, as our spectators
are waiting for real presentation of variety music, which has become
classical and which is done by our orchestra," Y. Yerznkian emphasized.
