‘DILIJAN’ CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS IN LOS ANGELES

The series of “Dilijan” chamber music concerts of “Larq” musical association
opened in Los Angeles, at the initiative of Maestro Vache Parsoumian and
violinist Movses Poghosian. The concerts will launch on September 25 at the
Colburn Center of Performing Arts. It is envisaged that pieces of classical
and modern Armenian music, namely those by Tigran Mansourian, Vache
Sharafian and Eduard Mirzoyan, will be performed at the concerts. Martin
Chalifour, Stuart Canin, Harry Grey, John Waltz and other musicians from Los
Angeles will play at the concerts.

It’s worth mentioning that Maestro Vache Parsoumian established “Larq”
musical association about a decade ago. He aimed to preserve and pass to the
generations the traditional Armenian music. Movses Poghosian, who won
Tchaykowsky International Music Awards in 1986, was recently appointed art
director of “Dilijan” chamber music union.
