Arno Babajanian to be featured at Chamber Music Concert in ALMA

The Armenian weekly reports that on January 27, the Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) will host a concert in ALMA’s Contemporary Arts Gallery. The concert is organized by the students of renowned Walnut Hill School for the Arts. As reported, this collaboration between ALMA and the Walnut Hill School will bring a performance of a very special piece of Armenian chamber music, Arno Babajanian’s “Piano Trio,” written in 1952, which combines traditional Armenian melodies with richly Romantic textures, and serves as a musical testament to the feelings of nationalist identity of the Armenian people under Soviet domination. The chamber groups will also present Erwin Schulhoff’s “Concertino for flute, viola, and double bass,” and Alexander Zemlinsky’s “Trio for clarinet, cello, and piano.”
