Concert of  winners of International Glinka Competition of Vocalists  in Yerevan

ArmInfo.A concert of winners of the XXVII International Glinka Competition of Vocalists was held at the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall. The performance in the capital of Armenia is part of an unprecedented tour featuring the outstanding singer Albina Shagimuratova (chair of the competition  jury) and the winners. The tour is currently taking place in various cities across Russia, as well as in Belarus, Turkey, and Kazakhstan.

The Glinka Competition, one of the main musical events organized in  Russia in the last century, is now experiencing a revival, after  several years of being forgotten.  According to the press service of  the National Philharmonic Orchestra, opera singers from Armenia have  traditionally shone and won awards at the Glinka Competition,  including such prominent names as Gegham Grigoryan (1975), Araks  Davtyan (1979), and Barsegh Tumanyan (1979). The Glinka Vocal  Competition  has played a vital role in the development of many  famous singers.

The concert in Yerevan on November 28 was a great success. According  to the source, the concert featured Honored Artist of the Russian  Federation Albina Shagimuratova and competition laureates Ivan  Borodulin, Iosif Nikitenko, Miroslav Molchanov, and Danil Sakharov.  Darya Gorozhanko, soloist of the Bolshoi Theater of Belarus, also  took part in the concert.
