    The Friends of Armenian Culture Society will present the 58th annual
    Armenian Night at the Pops on Sat., June 20 at 8 p.m. at Boston's
    Symphony Hall. The evening will feature the young, award-winning
    cellist Narek

    Hakhnazaryan, who will perform the "Variations on a Rococo Theme"
    by Tchaikovsky with maestro Erich Kunzel conducting the Boston
    Pops Orchestra. Also on the program will be ballet music by Aram
    Khachaturian, and pianist-singer Michael Feinstein will pay tribute
    to the legendary Frank Sinatra.

    Hakhnazaryan won First Prize at the 2008 Young Concert Artists
    Auditions. In October 2008, he made his debuts in Carnegie's Zankel
    Hall in New York and in the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater in
    Washington, D.C., to critical acclaim. "He produces powerful and
    colorful sound in all registers, and flashes all the virtuoso's tricks
    with insolent ease..." wrote the Washington Post, while the New York
    Times praised his "intense focus and expressive artistry."

    Hakhnazaryan is also the laureate of several international
    competitions, including first prize in the 2006 Aram Khachaturian
    International Competition, first prize in the 2006 Johansen
    International Competition for Young String Players, and fifth prize
    at the 2007 Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow. He has
    received scholarships from the Rostropovich Russian Performing Arts
    Fund and has performed in Russia, Germany, Italy, Austria, France,
    Great Britain, Greece, and Canada.

    Born into a family of musicians (his father is a violinist and his
    mother a pianist), Hakhnazaryan attended the Sayat-Nova School of
    Music, studying with Zareh Sarkisyan. At the age of 12, he began his
    studies at the Moscow Conservatory of Music with Alexey Seleznyov.

    The Friends of Armenian Culture Society is proud to have Hakhnazaryan
    as its soloist for this year's Armenian Night at the Pops; his
    Symphony Hall debut appearance with the Boston Pops Orchestra is a
    widely anticipated musical event.

    Tickets for this special event can be purchased online by visiting
    www.FACSBoston.org. A limited number of tickets are also available
    for K-12 students at a discount.
