CHANGES MADE TO CHAMBER CONCERT

Lexington Minuteman
Nov 3 2009
MA

Lexington – Due to unforeseen circumstances the two Boston Symphony
principals that were scheduled to perform at an upcoming concert in
Lexington will not perform, but as they say, the show must go on.

A revised program of Lexington composer Hayg Boyadjian’s work will
take place Monday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at First Parish Church,
7 Harrington Road, on the Battle Green.

The concert is free, but donations are welcomed. A reception will
follow the concert.

The new revised program will present three works: Nocturne No. 1 for
violoncello solo; Odessas 1-13 (birthday pieces for the composer’s
granddaughter Odessa) for piano; and De Profundis (a U.S. premiere),
a three-song cycle on German text for soprano and piano.

Performing will be John McDonald, pianist and director of Graduate
Music Studies at Tufts University; soprano Jodi Hitzhusen, pianist
Karen Sauer from the faculty at Wellesley College, and violoncellist
Jing Li.

Boyadjian is a composer whose works are performed internationally. A
number of his chamber and orchestral works are recorded on CDs.

His "Armenian Suite," based on Armenian folk melodies, is due to
appear soon on the Opus One CD label, a label which already includes
several of his orchestral compositions.
