/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The concert by the Youth State Orchestra of Armenia
at Tehran’s Vahdat Hall scheduled for July 1 to 3 has been cancelled,
MNA reported.
The officials of the Youth State Orchestra of Armenia decided to
cancel the concert due to the unrest in the aftermath of the June 12
presidential election, the organizer of the concert said.
The orchestra was to be led by its chief conductor and artistic
director Sergey Smbatyan.
Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto no. 1 was to be performed by the Iranian
member of the orchestra Mahyar Moradi.
The unrest erupted after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner
of the election, which is disputed by his reformist rival Mir Hossein
Mousavi.
