Speaking earlier about "The Ara Malikian World Tour", within the framework of which the Yerevan concert is being held, the violinist noted: "When I saw how my son took his first steps after months of falls, failed attempts and efforts, I realized that we all once had that strength, which was gradually forgotten. Children are tender, they are not afraid to make mistakes, they are free and expressive. When you look at a child, you realize who you were, how long you have deprived yourself of being like that. This tour was born as a result of my observations, when I watched how my son grows up, how I grow up with him. Here are the sounds and melodies that express my feelings and inspired me through my child. The ride is full of dinosaurs, robot squids, time machines, flying pianos and bilingual mimosas. This is the album that I forgot about, but which has a powerful influence. It's amazing to discover their charm and appeal every day."
Ara Malikyan was born in Lebanon, but has been living and creating in Spain for many years. His talent was discovered at an early age, despite the fact that he had to live and study in bomb shelters for a long time during the Lebanese civil war. Malikyan's first big concert took place at the age of 12, and two years later, with the mediation of the conductor Hans Herbert Joris, he received a scholarship from the German government to study at the Hannover Higher School of Music and Theater. Malikyan continued his education at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and also took lessons from world-famous professors. In 2015, in cooperation with the Royal Theater of Madrid, he re-released his album dedicated to the 15th anniversary of settling in Spain. One of Malikyan's major tours in recent years is "15", which was a great success among the public and critics, with more than 175,000 spectators and more. than 150 concerts.
