The 20th jubilee concert season of the Yerevan Perspectives International Music Festival continues with the first ever appearance in Armenia of legendary pianist Ivo Pogorelich. His piano recital is scheduled to take place at Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall on Monday, May 13, the festival organizers said in a Facebook post.

Pogorelich has marked the classical music scene of our time. His unique musical talent and innovative approach have placed him among the most original music minds.

Pogorelich’s adventurous spirit, valued for the lucidity in his discovery of new capacities of musical _expression_, is cloaked in pianism of the highest aesthetic value, inimitable virtuosity and technical mastery. His evocative interpretations, shaped by a refined music taste, the likes of which are rare in our time, have broadened the horizons of the interpretation and understanding of piano literature by setting new standards for pianistic interpretation.

Thanks to his uncompromising artistic criteria and dedicated search for the ideal of music _expression_, Pogorelich has, in over four decades of playing, realized authentic achievements, appreciated by both audiences and critics alike, while his concerts all over the world have gained the status of eagerly-awaited cult events.
