Out Now: Klara’s Dance (Piano Version)

Out today a new piano version of Klara’s Dance. This is a re-interpretation of my original film score. In its early shape I have performed this piece live in Riga, Trieste, Pordenone and Ljubljana last year. Now it is slightly expanded and released together with the (upcoming) complete film soundtrack.

Klara’s Dance (Klarin ples) is a Slovenian short film produced by Elephant Art Film Production, directed by Jan Fabris, featuring actors Lara Fortuna (on the cover), Miha Rodman and Blaz Setnikar.

Raffi Kharajanyan 80-years celebration concert

I will perform at the concert in Riga, Latvia in April 2024 to celebrate the 80th birthday of my most important artistic mentor, pianist and professor Raffi Kharajanyan.

I will play a few special piano versions of my original pieces, including two movie soundtrack fragments. Plus a few other composers’ pieces in ensembles with my teacher, as well as ex-students of Raffi. This piano class reunion and celebration is organized thanks to the initiative of a well-known Latvian pianist Reinis Zariņš. The event will happen in the main hall of the Latvian Academy of Music, where I have studied.

For those in Riga – tickets are here.
