Pianist Hayk Melikyan to hold online charity recital on April 25
Pianist, Honored Artist of Armenia Hayk Melikyan will hold an online charity recital on April 25, which will be broadcast live at 11pm Yerevan time. The concert is dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, and all proceeds from the concert tickets will be donated to the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (www.soar-us.org).
Hayk Melikyan will perform pieces by Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Komitas, Khachaturian, Babadjanyan, Dellalian and Gurdjieff during the recital.
"Today we live in difficult times, but we must never forget, regardless of our problems, the children who need us, because I am sure that we have potential Khachaturians, Komitases, Mozarts and Newtons among them. Of course, performing without the audience is strange for me, I missed the Yerevan audience very much, but I realize that staying at home today is vital for everyone and I hope I will be able to bring some warmth to people's apartments and do something good together,” said the pianist.
Additionally, this year, the country's top leadership will pay tribute to the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide at the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial with a live performance by Hayk Melikyan.
