    NEWTON, Mass. -- The Newton Symphony Orchestra (NSO) will present a
    concert on Sunday November 14, titled "The Mystic Beauty of Armenian
    Music," which will be dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth
    of composer Alan Hovhaness.

    The concert will take place at 3 p.m. at the former Rashi Auditorium,
    15 Walnut Park, Newton Corner, on the grounds of the Andover Newton
    Theological School.

    The program features Joseph Scheer, concertmaster of the Boston Pops
    Esplanade Orchestra in Aram Khachaturian's Violin Concerto. The concert
    opens with the beautiful Prayer of Saint Gregory by Alan Hovhaness,
    played by the NSO's principal trumpeter, Daniel Davis. Next comes
    Hovhaness' Symphony No. 2, Mysterious Mountain. The second part of
    the concert will open with Khachaturian's Masquerade Suite and close
    with the Violin Concerto.

    There is a free pre-concert lecture by musicologist Steven Ledbetter.

    After the concert the audience is invited to join the soloist,
    orchestra members and conductor for refreshments.
