FEAST OF GREAT MUSIC HELD ALMOST UNNOTICED
On November 3, a significant concert of modern classic
music was held in Yerevan. The concert was dedicated
to the 85th anniversary of Armenian composer Eduard
Mirzoyan. The concert was interesting for two reasons:
firstly, for its conductor Murad Annamamedov, head of
the Philharmonic Orchestra of Yaroslavl, secondly, two
pieces by Eduard Mirzoyan and his great student Avet
Terterian were performed. Annamamedov performed the
famous Symphony by Mirzoyan and one of the unknown
pieces by Terterian.
Murad Annamamedov is one of those musicians who are
devoted to the Armenian art and carry out its
propaganda abroad. In the beginning of the concert, he
heartily greeted our people and country. At the end of
the concert, in response to "bravos" addressed to him,
Annamamedov suddenly turned to the audience and said:
"Let's preserve this treasure. They represent the
Armenian culture in the world," pointing out our
Philharmonic Orchestra.
At the same time, unfortunately, the premiere of Avet
Terterian's piece was not properly welcomed. The
concert hall was half empty. Moreover, none of the TV
channels or the newspapers highlighted the event or
made an interview with Murad Annamamedov. Something is
strange in Armenia. We all are guilty that the
large-scale audience didn't pull in for such an
events.
After the concert, when congratulating the conductor,
another Armenian classical musician Aleksander
Harutyunian approached Annamamedov to congratulate and
thank him for brilliant performance of the pieces.
When Annamamedov learnt who was congratulating him, he
knelt before of Harutyunian.
