World-famous Armenian cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan, who is gold medallist at the 2011 Tchaikovsky International Cello Com-petition, will today perform at Kings Place concert hall of London, England.

As the official website of the concert hall reports, N. Hakhnazaryan will perform together with pianist Oxana Schevchenko. The concert program features compositions of Tchaikovsky, Khachaturian, Arutiunian, Khudoyan, Giovanni Sollima and Rachmaninov.

The report notes that Narek Hakhnazaryan is in demand the world over. “Here he presents a very personal programme reflecting his Armenian heritage and the Russian tradition in which he was brought up,” reads the article.

Hakhnazaryan is recognised worldwide as one of the finest cellists of his generation.
