STATE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA TO ORGANIZE NEW CONCERTS
State Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia is seeking to restore cultural ties with neighboring countries. The concert of Georgian "Metekhi" Theatre at "Gabriel Sundukian" State Academic Theatre yesterday was one step to restoration. It has been the second performance of the Georgian theatre in Armenia since its creation in 1970. The first concert took place 20 years ago with the participation of the first generation of the theatre. "We unite Georgian folk and classic music. This is a new trend in choreography which is rather interesting, I think", art director of the theatre Haroldi Qotzkhishvili said.
Laert Movsisian, head of the State Philharmonic Orchestra, said at a press conference yesterday that this was not the only project of the Orchestra. Armenian professional dance groups together with individual dancers will perform "Eternal Flight" concert at "Hakob Paronian" Musical Comedy Theatre on May 29. Spectators are expected to enjoy tap-dance, modern, jazz, Latin American, classic and national dances. "The concert will show that we don't fall abreast of other countries", Laert Movsisian says.
The second arrangement of the Philharmonic Orchestra is the concert of Andre on the last days of May. Mr. Movsisian assures that all tickets for the concert were sold out before they took up advertising.
The singer said that he does not fear live performance and said that he dreams of a law prohibiting phonogram. "That will put an end to cultural killings", he said.
