Background
A 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition winner and youngest-ever First Prize winner of the 1985 USSR National Violin Competition, Movses Pogossianhas since established a multi-faceted career as a soloist, avid chamber musician, champion of new music, and a sought-after teacher.
He made his American debut performing the Tchaikovsky Concerto with the Boston Pops in 1990. Movses has recorded for Bridge, Summit, Melodia, and Albany labels. He is currently Professor of Violin at UCLA, and is also the Artistic Director of the acclaimed Dilijan Chamber Music Series at the Zipper Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
"But first some praise for Pogossian, who is a terrific violinist. He has the flair and the huge technique of a Romantic-era specialist, a virtuosity and magnetism that he applies to newer music." ... "one ofthe finest violinists in Los Angeles." - Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times
The concert will include an aria by Domenico Scarlatti, songs by Komitas, a string quartet by Haydn and, after intermission, Bach's Partita No. 2 for solo violin with a reprise of Moses Pogossian's Dilijan Series performance of Helga Thoene's celebrated arrangement of the Chaconne for solo violin and choir.
