State Youth Orchestra of Armenia performed in the frameworks of Al Bustan International Festival

On March 22 the string staff of the State Youth Orchestra of Armenia performed in the frameworks of Al Bustan International Festival. This time the musicians performed award winning movie soundtracks “Caramel”, “Where do we go now” and “Beirut After Shave” and several others by famous Lebanese composer Khaled Mouzanar.

The performance was under the direction of violin soloist Claude Chalhoub at Emile Bustani Auditorium while screening some of the most memorable scenes from these films. Together with the SYOA strings on stage there were singers Lena Farah and Maan Zacharia, the Antonin University Choir and several other instrumentalists. Among them was Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi (bandoneon): a beloved performer in Armenia and around the world who was very pleased to have the opportunity to work with SYOA musicians once again, especially in the frameworks of this important festival.

Within the frameworks of the festival the State Youth Orchestra of Armenia is going to present another concert tomorrow, March 23.
