Heart melodies: in Ashgabat Days of culture of Armenia opened
A surprising gift - a concert of the Yerevan state chamber chorus - was made to residents of Ashgabat by visitors of the Republic of Armenia. This performance opened a train of actions on the margins of Days of culture.
The conductor and art director Arutyun Topikyan with a big enthusiasm presented to listeners which after each work broke the hall with applause.
Unusual performance amazed the public to depth of soul - pure and sonorous voices of choristers managed at all without accompaniment, they created music.
East melody of the flute entered the concert. It seems, all fairy tales of desert were told under these viscous sounds in which as if intertwined a fire crash, whisper of sand and light of stars over boundless twilight open spaces. The instrument became one more voice in the chorus – a bright accent, organically went with a sound palette.
It was visible, how much performers and spectators were happy with each other. They exchanged energy. On the faces of choristers smiles flashed. Arutyun Topikyan at all at times moved and hopped behind a conductor's stand. The public with pleasure hopped in armchairs together with him, applauding actors. The festive mood reigned.
At the end the chorus presented a number of jazz works, "threatening" to break spectators from places and to carry away them to dance. Performance of the world hit «Besame Mucho» became a final chord.
