the second time and participates in that festival with great happiness.
"It is very pleasant for me to perform a concert in Yerevan as I
feel warmness and good reception of the Armenian spectator: the
Yerevan spectator is more sensitive towards the classic music,
art than representatives of many and many European countries," D,

composers during the coming concert, however, he is greatly interested
in works of Armenian musicians and estimate them as the best models
of the classic art.

Sympathy prize and the special prize of jury at the A. Khachaturian
international music competition. He now lives and creates in Germany,
