Following recital and concerts around the world, violinist Mikhail Simonyan will release his Deutsche Grammophon debut recording, Two Souls, on November 1 in the United States.

To mark the occasion Simonyan will present a concert at New York's renowned (le) Poisson Rouge featuring an eclectic program of works by Ysaÿe, Tchaikovsky, and Milstein. For an evening of energetic and undoubtedly exciting music making, Simonyan will be joined by his good friend maestro Kristjan Järvi (who leads the London Symphony Orchestra on Simonyan's new album) and Järvi's Absolute Ensemble in re-imagined settings of music inspired by folk influences, Vivaldi, Mendelssohn, and more, written by ensemble member Gene Pritsker.

Still in his twenties, Mikhail Simonyan is already recognized as one of the most celebrated talents of his generation. The New York Times has praised his, "breadth, lyricism and fleet technique," and reported that "Mr. Simonyan play[s] as if every note counted."

For his Deutsche Grammophon debut recording, Mikhail Simonyan decided to pay tribute to his Armenian heritage and also the substantial amount of time he has lived in the United States as represented by the violin concertos of Khachaturian and Barber, BroadwayWorld reported.
