Evening dedicated to Aram Khachaturian's 120th anniversary to be held in Yerevan
The 24th Yerevan Perspectives International Music Festival will present a concert evening dedicated to Aram Khachaturian's 120th anniversary on November 6 at 7 p.m. in the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall.

The concert will be performed by the flutist Jasmine Choi and the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Gianluca Marciano.  The program includes Khachaturian's Suite from  "Masquerade" and a Concerto for Flute and Orchestra.  

Flutist Jasmine Choi is one of the most celebrated flutists of our time, known for her virtuosity and refined interpretation, as well as her adventurous projects. She has performed across the globe in a variety of genres from classical solo, chamber, and orchestral to experimental, jazz, and pop. 

Her infinite curiosity has also led her to make her own arrangements of major works, including the Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, as well as performing new works by living composers. She has published numerous arrangements of hers through the Theodore Presser Company and has premiered more than 10 flute concertos written for her.
