On October 25, the 13th Yerevan International Music Festival wrapped up with a gala concert dedicated to the long-standing cooperation of the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia and Converse Bank.

Works of Mozart, Gershwin and Brahms were played during the concert. The conductor was Alexander Liebrich (Germany). The key piece of the project was Concert for Piano La Major by G. Gershwin. The famous pianist Freddie Kempfin performed as the soloist.

“This work by Gershwin is rarely performed because of its complexity. But it is incredibly rich in emotions and gives the best insight into Gershwin’s creative personality, rich inner world. I am glad that we had the opportunity to present this work in the framework of the festival, and the Armenian audience accepted it with great enthusiasm.

Overall, the 13th Yerevan International Music Festival has brought together well-known musicians from over 15 countries.

“The format of public-business cooperation in the field of culture, particularly classical music, has proven to be one of the most effective. In recent years Converse Bank has been acting as the supporter of the Yerevan Music Festival. Our cooperation with the Bank is not accidental: it is the most active bank in the field of culture, and our joint projects are one of the best examples of cooperation between public and private sector entities, “said Ruzanna Sirunyan, Director of the National Philharmonic Orchestra.
