              Khachaturian is a great Armenian composer, an outstanding representative 
              of 20th century’s music, one of the most original contemporary 
              composers. His works are part of the world music’s “gold 
              portfolio”. 
               
              In connection with the 
              composer’s 100th anniversary, UNESCO announced 2003 the Year 
              of Khachaturian. 
               
              “It is first of all a feast of music. There is something 
              Rubensean in the splendor of his life-enjoying melody and the luxury 
              of orchestral soundings. Not only splendor, but also abundance and 
              generosity: clusters of melody and ornaments! You feel like tasting 
              prodigally free music, pleased with its abundance. Khachaturian’s 
              art calls: “Let it be light and let it be joy!” (B.Asafev)
