YEREVAN, APRIL 5, NOYAN TAPAN. Famous Czech musicians - conductor Leos Svarovski and violonist Frantisek Novotny will for the first time give a concert at the Aram Khachatrian Concert Hall on April 6 together with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia. The orchestra conducted by Svarovski will perform Smetana's "Vlatava" symphonic poem from "My Homeland" series, Korngold's Violin Concert and Dvorzhak's 7th symphony. At the April 5 press conference the musicians said that they accepted at once the invitation of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia as they had previously listened to its performance during the "Prague Autumn" classical music festival. They are familiar with the Armenian classical music and have performed works of Armenian composers. Frantisek Novonty pointed out that he often performs the Violin Concert of Aram Khachatrian, he loves and appreciates his works. "Perhaps there is no violinist who has not performed the concert of this great composer." The Czech misicians are content with their cooperation with the orchestra. As they put it, they "came into contact quickly and flexibly," and expressed confidence that they will work with the orchestra in the future too. Although the musicians are in Yerevan for the first time, they know the Armenian culture and history quite well.
