Pegasus: The Orchestra’s founder, principal conductor, and artistic director, Karén Hakobyan, conducts the 2023-2024 Season’s Finale in a commemoration of Aram Khatchaturian's 120th Anniversary.
The program opens with Stravinsky’s stunning 8-movement Suite from the Pulcinella Ballet highlighting Pegasus's principals as soloists. The first half concludes with Tchaikovsky’s delightful Variations on a Rococo Theme and features 2007 Tchaikovsky International Competition gold medalist Sergey Antonov (cello) as the soloist.
The second half opens with Beethoven’s colossal Symphony No. 7 and culminates with Khatchaturian's Waltz from the "Masquerade" Suite, a fitting conclusion to the season.

Brahms & The Schumanns
Karén Hakobyan conducts Pegasus: the Orchestra in a monumental program that mirrors the storied Brahms–Schumann–Schumann musical triangle. He begins the evening with Robert Schumann’s undeservedly neglected jewel, Overture to The Bride of Messina, op. 100, composed as he approached the end of his life’s arc.
Next, the stunning Piano Concerto of his beloved Clara Josephine Schumann [born: Wieck] is performed by celebrated pianist Asiya Korepanova. This masterpiece was composed by Clara at age fourteen (14), leaving one to wonder what more she could have done had her life had a different trajectory.
Following a brief intermission, Hakobyan concludes the concert with Johannes Brahms’ great Symphony No. 4. A close friend of both the Schumanns, Johannes remained Clara’s fast friend after Robert’s untimely death.
