    COMPETITION OF VIOLINISTS IN YEREVAN

    Aram Khachatrian International competition of violinists continues
    in Yerevan. The first stage of the competition will finish today.

    The Preparatory Committee informed that Prof. Grigory Zhislin from the
    Royal College of Music in London failed to arrive in Armenia due to
    technical problems. The organizers are also saddened that 23-year-old
    Chinese Tzin Yunyuan could not come because of health problems. Only
    12 of overall 18 participants who presented works of Bach, Paganini,
    Mozart and Khachatrian will enter the next stage.

    On occasion of the competition at the House-Museum of Aram Khachatrian
    Swiss Suzy Meter displayed her photos of Khachatrian during his last
    London visit. London-born Armenian, Asatur Gyuzelian, introduced
    the photographer to Khachatrian while in London in 1977 and she has
    been taking his photos for 2 months. Suzy Meter presented 25 photos
    to the Museum yesterday. They depict the composer surrounded by his
    friends and family members.
