Pegasus: The Orchestra and DOROT celebrate two remarkable milestones together: DOROT’s 50th Anniversary and Pegasus’s 10th Anniversary. Led by Founder, Artistic Director, and Principal Conductor Karén Hakobyan, every work is heard in an arrangement created by Hakobyan for Pegasus, in an evening celebrating music’s power to connect generations.
The program opens with Haydn’s dramatic Symphony No. 59 “Fire.” Tchaikovsky Competition Gold Medalist and GRAMMY-nominated cellist Sergey Antonov then takes center stage in Saint-Saëns’s passionate Cello Concerto No. 1, followed by Rachmaninoff’s hauntingly lyrical Vocalise, featuring Antonov. Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue brings the evening to an exhilarating close, with Hakobyan leading from the piano in a vibrant fusion of classical brilliance and American jazz.
