In spring, Jivan Gasparian will be touring across Europe. On April 17, the musician will perform in Italy. His concerts will be held in three different cities from April 22 to April 27. The Maestro will perform his songs accompanied by the Italian Symphony Orchestra. And at the end of May Jivan Gasparian will visit the Netherlands.

At a press conference announcing the release of Jivan Gasparian’s album From Time Immemorial, the musician said that his most important ambition was establishing a duduk school in Yerevan to help children learn how to play the instrument and become true artists. The Maestro stressed the difficulty of playing it, noting that other wind instruments, particularly the clarinet and the saxophone, provide musicians many more opportunities to express themselves, unlike the duduk, which only has one octave and two notes. “I have to put my entire soul into the instrument so that a piece of wood could touch the hearts of people,” he said. Gasparian mentioned that during the February charity concert in London, in which he had participated, he was promised financial support in building the school.
