NEW YORK—The Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) New York Special Events Committee’s (NYSEC) Performing Artists in Concert will take place on Sat., Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in New York.

The concert will be dedicated to celebrating the life and work of renowned Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian. The event, in honor of Mansurian’s 75th birthday, will bring together young musicians from Armenia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The musicians in this year’s international ensemble include Samvel Arakelyan (violin), Narek Arutyunian (clarinet), Grigor Khachatryan (piano), Lilit Kurdiyan (cello), Nune Melikian (violin), Edvard Pogossian (cello), Veronika Vardpatrikyan (viola), Lauren Williams (oboe), and Sarkis Zakarian (piano). Zakarian, who recently launched the AGBU London Chamber Orchestra, will also serve as the artistic director for the evening.

Each musician has received an AGBU Performing Arts Fellowship, which has supported his/her training at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions. This year’s ensemble includes graduates of the Yerevan State Komitas Conservatory, the Royal Academy of Music, the Juilliard School, and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

The evening’s program will feature a diverse array of Western classical and Armenian composers. Along with lesser-known pieces by Grammy Award nominee Mansurian, guests will also be treated to two rarely performed transcriptions by Alexander Spendiaryan and works by Aram Khachaturian, Mozart, and Schumann, among others.
