<\/a><\/p>\nWhat refers to the orchestra according to the founders it will have very flexible staff, it means that enlargement and reduction of the musicians will be done according to the requirement of the concert program. The aim of the orchestra iis to represent orchestral works of Armenian composers, to introduce young and new as well as already famous conductors and musicians to the European audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cVIVA Callas\u201d concert well be led by world famous Armenian pianist and conductor Vag Papyan who is invited from Israel. The chief conductor and art director of the orchestra is popular violinist and today already a conductor Sergey Ostrovskiy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first concert \u201cVIVA Vivaldi\u201d was devoted to Vivaldi\u2019s works , where Vivaldi\u2019s connection with Armenia was highly presented, during the concert there were parts from Vivaldi\u2019s \u201cTigran the Great\u201d opera. Each \u201cViva\u201d concert has its own theme and is dedicated to a musician or a specific direction\u201d detailing Varduhi Khachatryan about the orchestras activites . \u201dVIVA Callas\u201d concert series are expected to\u00a0 represent also in New York\u2019s Carnegie Hall and Paris\u2019s Salle Gaveaux.<\/p>\n
And why they decided to refer to Maria Callas, the singer\u00a0 answered: \u201cThe idea of \u201cViva Callas\u201d was born a few years ago when I as the \u201cMaria Callas\u00bb GRAND PRIX winner was invited to Athens to sing in the concert dedicated to Callas, after some more invitations followed, and the most important for me was\u00a0 my solo concert series\u00a0 in European cities: in Antwerpen, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Geneva and of course in Yerevan, which was also dedicated to Callas 90th<\/sup> anniversary, it had a great success and the audience\u00a0 asked to repeat the concert, after that, the idea to create \u201cViva Callas\u2019 concert series was born. This project was a link for a close relations between \u201dAvetis\u201d and \u201dArts\u2019 Gallery\u201d cultural foundation founded by Mariam Shahinyan\u201d.<\/p>\n Varduhi Khachatryan was inspired of Maria Callas talent since an early age, when she heard Calla\u2019s works in his father\u2019s collections who is the national artist of the Republic of Armenia, opera singer Albert Khachatryan, and at that time she decided to become an opera singer and to performe her songs.<\/p>\n Swiss-Armenian cultural association \u201cAvetis\u201d which is located in Geneva will soon be celebrating the 5th anniversary of its creation and maybe for that reason \u201dAvetis\u201d festival orchestra was founded, which is a nice present for armenian musicians and art lovers.<\/p>\n Author Liana Hayrapetyan<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In these days in Victoria Hall situated in Gen\u00e8ve will be held the first concert of \u201cViva Callas\u201d concert series during which will be presented opera compositions from the world famous soprano Maria Callas\u2019 repertoire.
