Tankian was said he was impressed by the rehearsal and the way the orchestra performed his composition.
“The State Youth Orchestra of Armenia performs very well. I am very excited! I did some corrections during the rehearsal. It is a common thing for the composer to do so. I am very excited to be part of Khachaturian Festival and to see the orchestra,” the world-famous musician noted after the rehearsal.
Orca Symphony No. 1 will be presented in Armenia for the first time.
