Hovsepian, Beletsky to perform
Pianist Levon Hovsepian and cellist Arkady Beletsky will present
an afternoon concert of chamber music at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 2,
at the Belmont Public Library. The free concert, which will be held
in the Assembly Room, is sponsored by the Friends of the Library as
part of the Music on Sunday series.
Hovsepian and Beletsky, who are both on the faculty of the Indian
Hill Music Center in Littleton, will perform works by Bach,
Beethoven, Brahms, Arutunian, Prokofiev, and Popper. Hovsepian also
teaches at the Powers Music School in Belmont.
Both Hovsepian and Beletsky began performing professionally as
children and achieved performing careers overseas before moving to
the Boston area. A graduate of the Komitas Conservatory in Soviet
Armenia, Hovsepian performed throughout Armenia, Estonia and Moldova
and appeared as a soloist with the Yerevan Symphony Orchestra and on
Armenian national television. After attracting major critical
attention in Armenia, he was invited to study at the Longy School of
Music in Cambridge. He made his New York debut in 1994 and became
known for his compelling interpretive style and expansive technique.
He was a prize winner at the Arlington Concerto Competition and has
appeared as a soloist with the Salem Philharmonic Orchestra, the New
England Philharmonic Orchestra, WGBH radio, and Moscow Radio.
Beletsky was born in Kiev, Ukraine and completed his master’s degree
in music at the Gnesin Institute of Music in Moscow. In 1983 he
founded the Renaissance Chamber Ensemble, which rose to prominence as
one of the most prolific and well-regarded chamber groups in
pre-Perestroika Russia, headlining over 1,000 concerts throughout the
15 republics of the Soviet Union. In 1989 Beletsky emigrated to the
U.S. with his family. Since then, he has performed solo, chamber and
orchestral work at Jordan Hall, Sanders Theater and Mechanics Hall,
has participated in numerous music festivals, and has made a live
appearance on WGBH’s “Morning Pro Musica.”
