FAMOUS BRITISH CONDUCTOR DREAMT OF ARMENIA
"I dreamt of Armenia. It is the first country I have dreamt of," says famous British conductor Paul McAlindin, who will be the first this year to conduct the Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia Friday. Mr. McAlindin has not been to any of the countries of the former Soviet Union before. In his words, he dreamt of Armenia in 2003, but he managed to come only now. "I am a supporter of traditions and people in old times believed in prophetic dreams," he says.
