Three Armenian and Armenian-American works: Alan Hovhaness’s Symphony No. 6, Celestial Gate (1972); Tigran Mansurian’s Romance, with Sargis Karapetyan as violin soloist; and Edvard Mirzoyan’s Symphony for Strings and Timpani (1962), a staple of the Armenian string-orchestra repertoire. Karapetyan trained at the Komitas State Conservatory in Yerevan, where he later lectured, and has taught at the Boston Conservatory and Clark University.
