A gift to all classical music fanciers will be presented at "Perspectives XXI" Festival jubilee
The first concert within "Perspectives XXI" 10th International Music Festival framework was held 10 years ago - on Oct. 25, 1999. On the same day of 2009, Yerevan will host a Jubilee gala concert.


"4-hour festive concert will feature performances of world known musicians," Festival Managing Director, Sona Hovhannesyan told today's news conference.

"Perspectives XXI" 10th International Music Festival organizers chose the biggest concert hall in Armenia for jubilee concert, although acoustics in the hall is not meant for classical concerts.

"Even the large concert hall we chose is too small for a concert which will host dozens of outstanding musicians. But inviting music virtuosi in Armenia and not giving Armenian audience a chance to attend the unique concert would be unfair," Festival Chairman and Art Director, composer Stepan Rostomyan noted.

"Perspectives XXI" 10th International Music Festival jubilee will host representatives of European royal families and music festival agents of world importance.

"We're trying to give Armenian composers and musicians a chance to gain world popularity.
Modern classical music created in Armenia never goes beyond the country, whereas this music deserves more - it deserves world acknowledgement," Festival Art Director noted.
