The series, entitled the "Mansurian Triptych" will showcase the composer's later vocal, chamber, and orchestral works, on the evenings of April 20, 23, and 25, respectively. The first two concerts will be held in Zipper Hall, Colburn School of Music, 200 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles 90012; and the third concert will take place at the Alex Theater, 216 North Brand Boulevard, Glendale 91203.

The first of the "Triptych" events is a choral concert featuring Mansurian's Ars Poetica, on poetic selections by Eghishe Charents. The second concert will be devoted to the composer's chamber works, performed by an ensemble of nationally and internationally acclaimed musicians, including violist Kim Kashkashian, who will also perform Mansurian's famed Viola Concerto in the third concert of the musical trilogy. This concluding event will also feature the U.S. premiere of the composer's recent Concerto No. 2 for Violin and String Orchestra, with Dilijan artistic director Movses Pogossian, as soloist. Lark Director Maestro Vatsche Barsoumian will lead the Lark Choir and the Lark Orchestra.

The Lark students and graduates have been diligent in their organizational efforts to present the choral, orchestral and chamber works of one of Armenia's leading composers, whose Monodia (ECM New Music Series) was nominated for a 2005 Grammy Award. - Source: http://www.larkmusicalsociety.com
