The concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will mark the start
of the 14th Yerevan Perspectives International Music Festival on April
11. The Festival is held under the high auspices of the President of
the Republic of Armenia and with the support of the Armenian Ministry
of Culture.

The concert will take place at the Aram Khachatryan Concert Hall led
by Grammy-winning American conductor Michael Tilson.

“The festival has become Armenia’s visiting cars in the world,”
composer Stepan Rostomyan told reporters today. “I’m proud, as the
most prominent musicians of the world apply for participation in the
festival, saying it’s an honor for them to play in Armenia,” he added.

The composer attached special importance to this years’ program.

According to him, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is the real
face of classical music in the world. The concert of the orchestra
on the Yerevan stage is an evidence of our country’s power, Stepan
Rostomyan said.

The 14th Yerevan perspectives Festival will feature also the Shanghai
Quartet and the Sydney Symphonic Orchestra led by Vladimir Ashkenazy.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
