Maestro Tigran Mansurian highlighted the role of the Armenian language in patriotic aspirations as he met with students of the National Polytechnic University of Armenia on Thursday.

“The art of composition is not a performing art, but an ideological one. In this case young people have great opportunities, they study in developed countries and return to Armenia. I believe there will be successors. Being in action, being part of the changing world is essential,” said the leading composer.

Speaking about the musicality of the Armenian language, the composer stated that music and the Armenian language are closely linked with one another. “With its accents and phonetics, it is already music. We must always recognize the role of the Armenian language in patriotic pursuits. Language is the foundation of instrumental music. Every language is not only phonetics, but also a worldview system,” Mansurian said.

The maestro also talked about his childhood and student years. “I was a naughty child, I never thought about my teachers being happy with me. I was always fighting,” he said.

Mansurian described himself as self-taught. “I was an insatiable reader. I didn’t attend a music school, I learned music by myself. When there is no teacher, when you are alone with yourself, a direct connection is formed between music and you. Nevertheless, I was surrounded by caring people,” he noted.
