ROBY LAKATOS & FRIENDS
2024-07-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Yerevan
July 19 (Friday), 19:00 Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall
ROBY LAKATOS & FRIENDS
An exceptional evening at Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall.On July 19th, at 19:00, the Legendary Violinist Roby Lakatos will perform for the first time in Armenia, accompanied by his Virtuoso Friends.
Labeled by the Daily Telegraph (UK) as “The king of the violinists”, Roby Lakatos is not only a scorching virtuoso, but a musician of extraordinary stylistic versatility. He is a rare musician who defies definition. He is referred to as a Romani violinist or “devil’s fiddler”, a classical virtuoso, a jazz improviser, a composer and an arranger.Roby has performed at the most prestigious venues of the World, including Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, Barbican Centre and others, and has appeared at the biggest festivals in Europe, Asia and America.
Born in 1965 into the legendary family of Romani violinists descended from Janos Bihari, “King of Gypsy Violinists,” Roby Lakatos was introduced to music as a child and at age nine, he made his public debut as the first violin in a Romani band.His musicianship evolved not only within his own family but also at the Béla Bartók Conservatory of Budapest, where he won the first prize for classical violin in 1984.
He has collaborated with Vadim Repin and Stéphane Grappelli, and his playing was greatly admired by Sir Yehudi Menuhin, who always made a point of visiting the club in Brussels to hear Lakatos. In March 2004, Lakatos appeared to great acclaim with the London Symphony Orchestra in the orchestra’s “Genius of the Violin” festival alongside Maxim Vengerov.
When Roby Lakatos mixes the so-called “classical music” with the magic of the Hungarian-Romani vitality, it reflects the deep tradition rooted in the cultural heritage of the Roma people and offers new, refreshing pleasures to the listener and music lover. And just as Liszt, Brahms and others used Hungarian music in their compositions, so now the public profits from the confrontation of these classics with the Romani roots.
Lakatos has performed at renowned festivals and played with prominent jazzmen like Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, and Stéphane Grappelli. Roby Lakatos has numerous discography with labels such as Deutsche Grammophon, which is considered the biggest CD label for classical music, Universal, Avanticlassic, and others.
During the Yerevan concert, his friends, virtuoso musicians, will be on stage with the “Great Master”. Laszlo Boni (violin), Laszlo Racz (cimbalom), Gabor Ladanyi (guitar), Robert Szakcsi Lakatos (piano), Vilmos Ciskos (double bass).
Only one concert – July 19th, 19:00.Save the date and hurry up to reserve your participation!

GURDJIEFF ENSEMBLE
2024-07-16 19:00 - 21:00 | Yerevan
July 16 (Tuesday), 19:00 Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall
GURDJIEFF ENSEMBLEArtistic Director: Levon Eskenian
The internationally acclaimed Gurdjieff Ensemble, led by founder Levon Eskenian and comprised of Armenia’s leading musicians performing traditional Armenian instruments, recently released their highly anticipated third album, “Zartir”, on the prestigious German label ECM Records.This album reimagines G.I. Gurdjieff’s music with folk instrumentation and delves into the rich tradition of Armenian ashughs and poets, featuring Jivani, Baghdasar Dpir, and Sayat-Nova, with an emphasis on vocals.
Their illustrious history includes celebrated albums “Music of Georges I. Gurdjieff” and “Komitas” on ECM Records, earning prestigious awards such as the Edison Awards in the Netherlands. With a remarkable track record of performances in nearly 150 cities across 30 countries and consistently sold-out concerts at major venues and festivals worldwide, the Armenian Gurdjieff Ensemble transcends boundaries, seamlessly connecting ancient and contemporary traditions from East and West through the soulful essence of Armenian music.The New York Times lauds their music as “powerfully hypnotic”, delivering a culturally specific and vivid musical experience.
“Powerfully hypnotic. The Gurdjieff Ensemble offers listeners a chance to hear the music in a way that is ethnically specific, and in jolting bright color.” – New York Times“Hunting and atmospheric.” – The Guardian“The duduk permeates everything with its mournful grace, with the oud and tar lute, the kanun zither, and the daf frame drum adding to their evocative sound.” – BBC“This is a substantial piece of musical archaeology and resuscitation.” – Songlines“The combination of instrumental voices, and the otherness of the voices themselves creates deep and mysterious.” – The Independent

VIDA GUITAR QUARTET
In cooperation with the Play 2 Festival, D’Addario Foundation and The State Philharmonia of Armenia, on July 5th, at 19:00, the concert of the famous “VIDA” quartet will take place in the Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall in Yerevan.
VIDAʼs ability to “conjure up an orchestral palette of colour and effects” (Classic FM) combined with their “exquisite tonal and dynamic control” has firmly established them as a passionate and masterful ensemble who sparkle with “vitality and spontaneity” (Acoustic). VIDAʼs seemingly effortless sense of ensemble and their broad range of timbres and dynamics evokes “listening to an entire orchestra and not merely to four guitars. Thereʼs only one word for it: magic” (Gramophone).
Since forming in 2007, VIDA has performed to critical acclaim in major UK, USA and European venues. Following on from their acclaimed debut CD, ʻLove, the Magicianʼ (BGS118) VIDA released their latest CD, ʻRhapsodyʼ in 2013 featuring works by George Gershwin, Malcolm Arnold and Adam Gorb.
The works of European classical composers, as well as Komitas and Aram Khachaturian, will be performed at the Yerevan concert by the “VIDA” Quartet․
