/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The first concert within `Perspectives XXI’ 10th
International Music Festival framework was held 10 years ago – on
Oct. 25, 1999. On the same day of 2009, Yerevan will host a Jubilee
gala concert.

`4-hour festive concert will feature performances of world known
musicians,’ Festival Managing Director, Sona Hovhannesyan told today’s
news conference.
`Perspectives XXI’ 10th International Music Festival organizers chose
the biggest concert hall in Armenia for jubilee concert, although
acoustics in the hall is not meant for classical concerts.
`Even the large concert hall we chose is too small for a concert which
will host dozens of outstanding musicians. But inviting music virtuosi
in Armenia and not giving Armenian audience a chance to attend the
unique concert would be unfair,’ Festival Chairman and Art Director,
composer Stepan Rostomyan noted.
`Perspectives XXI’ 10th International Music Festival jubilee will host
representatives of European royal families and music festival agents
of world importance.
`We’re trying to give Armenian composers and musicians a chance to
gain world popularity.
Modern classical music created in Armenia never goes beyond the
country, whereas this music deserves more – it deserves world
acknowledgement,’ Festival Art Director noted.
