Organizers promise affordable prices for Ian Gillan concerts tickets in Yerevan
Deep Purple lead singer, legendary Ian Gillan and Armenian State Philharmonic Orchestra will give benefit concerts in Yerevan on March 26 and 27, 2010.

The organizers of the concerts - Mediamax news agency and VivaCell-MTS - promise affordable prices for tickets. The money raised from ticket sales will be spent on construction of a new building for Gyumri N6 music school.

Armenian State Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Eduard Topchyan said the concerts may be recorded for DVD release like it was done during Gillan's concert with the London Symphony Orchestra.

"We are happy to assist in reconstruction of a music school in Gyumri and assume a part of responsibility for the problems the government does not address," VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikyan said.
