HIDEKO UDAGAWA IN ARMENIA
Support A1+!Hideko Udagawa, the great-granddaughter of Japan's historically most influential prime ministers has come to Armenia to present her mastery.
As a protégée of Nathan Milstein, she has inherited the great Russian romantic tradition of violin playing. Ms Udagawa made her orchestral debut in London with the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Charles Mackerras, playing Bruch's G minor concerto at the Barbican Hall. Her performances have spanned thirty countries across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. Armenia will be the 31st. In addition to live performances, Ms Udagawa has made a number of recordings which draw on her wide-ranging repertoire of over forty concerti. She is particularly enthusiastic about discovering great unrecorded works. Her latest CD, of works by Aram Khachaturian with the pianist Boris Berezovsky, for Koch International, includes seven world premiere recordings.
May 6 the masterly violin player will give a concert together with the State Phliharmonic Orchestra conducted by Eduard Topchyan in the concert hall after Aram Khachaturyan.
She will perform Tchaikovsky’s Symphonic Fantasy «Francesca da Rimini», Khachaturyan's Concert Rhapsody for Violin and Orchestra and Shostakovich's Ninth Symphony.
