    GLENDALE - Dilijan Chamber Music Series celebrates the 75th birthday
    anniversary of the beloved composer Tigran Mansurian with a special
    concert on January 12 at Zipper Hall. The concert features six chamber
    works by Armenia's foremost living composer known around the world
    through the breathtakingly beautiful catalog of recordings on the ECM
    New Series label.

    With Tigran Mansurian in attendance, works of varying styles and
    spanning almost 40 years will be presented, from uncompromisingly
    modernistic Violin Sonata No.2 (1965) and the wild `Allegro Barbaro'
    (1964) to the US Premiere of the haunting Parable (2012) for solo
    clarinet, and the transparent Lotos (2013) for solo viola, written for
    the most recent Munich International Viola Competition as the
    mandatory piece. Also, Romances by R. Melikyan, and Sept Sequences by
    B. Gelalian will be performed. Distinguished participating artists are
    soprano Shoushik Barsoumian, pianist Mark Robson, clarinetist Phil
    O'Connor, flutist Salpy Kerkonian, Artistic Director violinist Movses
    Pogossian, violist Robert Brophy, cellist Antonio Lysy, and the
    Dilijan Chamber Ensemble conducted by Vatsche Barsoumian.

    The new season of the Dilijan Series is dedicated to the 75th birthday
    anniversary of Tigran Mansurian. Continuing its mission of bringing
    new works to life, the Dilijan Series presents three world premieres
    from Paul Chihara, Artashes Kartalyan, and Vartan Adjemian, bringing
    the total of its commissions to 26. Among the distinguished
    instrumentalists appearing this season are clarinetist Michele
    Zukovsky, guitarist David Starobin, violinist Guillaume Sutre,
    violists Carrie Dennis and Richard O'Neill, cellists Clive Greensmith,
    Ronald Leonard, Robert deMaine, pianists Svetlana Navassardian and
    Inna Faliks, and many other artists of international acclaim.
