Armenian State Symphony Orchestra

On 15 October the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra puts Armenian, Greek and Russian music on one programme, with Dmitri Shostakovich's First Symphony at its centre. The Greek conductor Georgios Balatsinos is on the podium.

The programme

First half: Edward Mirzoyan's Symphonic Poem (11 minutes), Giorgos Koumendakis's Amor Fati (10 minutes) and Dimitris Papadimitriou's Incompleteness for symphony orchestra (9 minutes). After the interval: Shostakovich's Symphony No. 1 in F minor, Op. 10 (35 minutes) — rather a confident debut for a composer of nineteen.

Tickets

The concert starts at 19:30, with tickets from 3,000 to 15,000 drams; children are admitted from the age of six. It is part of the 10th Armenia International Music Festival.
