NEW YORK. – An exceptional musical evening will take place at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York on March 30, featuring two talented young Armenian musicians: Marta Bagratuni, cellist, and Hayk Arsenyan, pianist-composer.

This cultural evening is being presented by “Musical Armenia,” the concert series project under the auspices of the Armenian Prelacy in New York City, The Armenian Weekly informs. This project began in 1982 with the purpose of introducing talented young Armenian musicians to the public, as well as encouraging the performance of music by Armenian composers.

Marta Bagratuni is the daughter of the renowned cellist Suren Bagratuni. In 2010, she graduated magna cum laude from the University of Michigan and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in cello and voice performance.

Pianist-composer Hayk Arsenyan, a native of Armenia, is a laureate of international piano and composition competitions. He has appeared in recitals in the United States, Armenia, Russia, Europe, and the Middle East. He is currently on the faculty at New York’s University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
