MOVSES POGOSSIAN is a prizewinner of the 1986 Tchaikovsky

The Dilijan series’ six concerts of the 2005-06 season will encompass
both traditional pieces of the genre, along with fine examples of
Armenian classical chamber music. An important component of Dilijan is
its commitment to commission and premiere two to three compositions
each season. The inaugural concert, for example, will feature the
world premiere of “Serenade with a Dandelion” by Vache Sharafyan,
whose compositions have been championed by cellist YO-YO MA and his
Silk Road Ensemble.
Program
Edward Mirzoyan: String Quartet (1947)
Vache Sharafyan: Serenade with a Dandelion for two violins (World Premiere)
Zoltán Kodály: Serenade for two violins and viola, Op.12
Brahms: String Quintet No.2 in G Major, Op.111

SZYMANOWSKI PROJECT – Songs of the Mad Muezzin
a theatrical multimedia fantasy
Saturday, September 24, 2005 – 7:00PM
Sunday, September 25, 2005 – 3:00PM
USC Schoenberg Institute Recital Hall
A dangerous and esoteric world of mystical-erotic desire found in the
song-cycle “Songs of the Mad Muezzin” by the Polish composer KAROL
SZYMANOWSKI (1882-1937) is explored in a collective project between
students of USC’s Schools of Music, Theatre and Cinema & Television,
and the Polish Music Center. Film installation, projected slides,
abstract paintings, and classical music are combined to create an
experimental alternative to the traditional recital presentation of
the classical voice cycle.
The SZYMANOWSKI PROJECT was conceived by Russian-born tenor TIMUR
BEKBOSUNOV, a graduate student at USC studying voice with GARY
GLAZE. Read about Timur and the other USC artists involved with the
Szymanowski Project by clicking:
