Comments: 	After successful performance at the Kodak Theater in LA, Vahan 
		Artsruni will have his first performance in New York. Born and raised in 
		Yerevan, Armenia, Vahan Artsruni first came to attention in 1984 in the 
		band of legendary Armenian minstrel and rock musician Arthur Meschian. He 
		is one of the contemporary musicians who, while remaining loyal to the 
		traditions of Armenian music, coordinates the expressions of folk, 
		classical and rock music, establishing a personal synthesis of cultural 
		values. He comes on stage with a different symphonic program, presenting 
		his creations written for a rock group, chamber ensemble, choral group and 
		symphony orchestra.
