YEREVAN, APRIL 5, NOYAN TAPAN. Famous Czech musicians – conductor
Leos Svarovski and violonist Frantisek Novotny will for the first
time give a concert at the Aram Khachatrian Concert Hall on April 6
together with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia. The orchestra
conducted by Svarovski will perform Smetana’s "Vlatava" symphonic poem
from "My Homeland" series, Korngold’s Violin Concert and Dvorzhak’s
7th symphony.

At the April 5 press conference the musicians said that they accepted
at once the invitation of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia as
they had previously listened to its performance during the "Prague
Autumn" classical music festival. They are familiar with the Armenian
classical music and have performed works of Armenian composers.

Frantisek Novonty pointed out that he often performs the Violin Concert
of Aram Khachatrian, he loves and appreciates his works. "Perhaps
there is no violinist who has not performed the concert of this
great composer."

The Czech misicians are content with their cooperation with the
orchestra.

As they put it, they "came into contact quickly and flexibly," and
expressed confidence that they will work with the orchestra in the
future too.

Although the musicians are in Yerevan for the first time, they know
the Armenian culture and history quite well.

“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
