One of the most engaging virtuoso pianists by classical music audiences and critics Hayk Melikyan is set to perform solo concert on November 20 at Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall in Yerevan. The concert program features Chopin, Alexander Scriabin as well as three movements from “Petrushka” by Igor Stravinsky that have rarely been played in Yerevan.

The concert is performed in the scope of the 5th Khachaturian Festival which is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Hovhannes Aivazovsky. “The year has been overloaded with various programs, international tours and festivals, yet the joy and responsibility to perform in front of the Yerevan audience is something special and even more compelling,” the pianist told ahead of the concert.

To note, after long international tours the concert is the last event of the pianist in the autumn season.

Hayk Melikyan is recognized internationally as one of the most versatile and imaginative performers of the 20th Century and Contemporary Music and among today's most engaging virtuoso pianists.
Melikyan is a laureate of many competitions, such as Yvar Mikhashoff Trust for New Music (Buffalo, USA, 2012), Samson François and André Boucourechliev Prizes at the Orléans International Piano Competition (France, 2008, 2012), First Prize at Lazar Saryan Composers Competition (Yerevan, Armenia, 2008), Special Prize at Ibla Grand Prize Piano Competition (Ragusa, Italy, 1999) etc.
