At the 10th InClassica International Music Festival, world-famous musicians also perform works by Composer-in-residence Alexey Shor at the Dubai Opera.

The well-known composer started writing music as an adult and is a mathematician by profession. Now his works are heard on the global big stages.

"I started writing music too late. I was a mathematician, which helped me a lot during my studies because mathematics develops intelligence, the ability to understand a concept and generalize it. It helped me a lot," he told NEWS.am in Dubai.

He also collaborates with the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra. Many of his works are premiered by Armenian musicians.
