Alan Hovhaness Centennial Celebration
Other Minds celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alan Hovhaness (1911-2000), a prolific but under-appreciated composer and pioneer of "multi-cultural" music. Over the course of his career, Hovhaness studied his own Armenian ancestry, and also the musical cultures of India, Japan, and South Korea, traveling extensively to research the traditional music of those countries. Their influence is made clear in many of his 500+ works which include 67 symphonies, three ballets, and an enormous catalog of instrumental music including two for Indonesian gamelan orchestra.
Hovhaness expert and specialist Sahan Arzruni will perform a selection of works for solo piano at this once-in-a-lifetime celebration:
Achtamar (1947)
Lake of Van Sonata (1946, rev. 1959)
Mystic Flute (1937)
Pastoral No.1 (1952)
Yenovk (1946, rev. 1951 World Premiere)
