Dunedin Youth Concert
MAURICE TILL (left) will be the soloist at the Dunedin Youth Concert on Thursday, September 11. He will play Khachaturian’s Piano Concerto, written in 1935, and now a concert favourite in the Soviet Union, The composer, born in 1903, is the son of an Armenian bookbinder, and was 19 when he began his serious musical studies. In this concerto he uses some of his native Armenian folk tunes, and there ere echoes of Armenian instruments in itit should have an especial appeal to a young audience as it is a fresh work with plenty of gusto. Khachaturian, like most of his fellow composers, has had trouble with the Soviet rulers from time to time-his last brush with authority occurred in 1948. Aliso on the programme is a Jazz Interlude, a Suite from "Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ and "Capriccio Espagnole."
