The works of two of the most titanic figures in Armenian music, Komitas
and Aram Khachaturian, will bring together a collection of Turkish
and Armenian artists for a special concert tomorrow in Istanbul.
Armenian-American piano virtuoso Shahan Artsruni and famous Turkish
violin virtuoso Cihat AÅ~_kın will take the stage at Istanbul's
Cemal ReÅ~_it Rey Concert Hall tomorrow to perform pieces by Komitas
and Aram Khachaturian, the Hurriyet Daily news reported.
"Cihat is a violinist of international standing. He is a colleague
whose musical language speaks to me. Unlike other musical partners,
when we are together we don't have lengthy discussions, we don't have
to make compromises. We feel the same way. We make music, plain and
simple," Artsruni told the Hurriyet Daily News.
AÅ~_kın said interpreting Komitas' pieces was of great importance
to him as an artist. "Komitas is one the first composers and
ethnomusicologists of this land. He collected Anatolian songs for
the first time."
During the concert, Artsruni and AÅ~_kın will also interpret
world-renowned Armenian composer Khachaturian's works. "Komitas is the
wellspring of Armenian music; Khachaturian is the musical ambassador
of Armenian culture," said Artsruni.
