Concert of State Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia (artistic director and conductor Eduard Topchjan) will take place in Aram Khachatrian concert hall on March 7 featuring famous cellist Ramon Jaffe (Germany).
The soloist will perform Schelomo by Ernest Bloch and 3 Meditations by Leonard Bernstein. The concert will also feature excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet.
Born into a musical family in Riga, Latvia in 1962, Jaffe immigrated to Israel with his family in 1971 before coming to Germany in 1974.
Jaffe took successfully part in a series of competitions such as the German Musical Competition (1984) and the Casals Competition in Budapest (1985). His solo career, which had commenced during his studies, led him to the prestigious concert houses of Berlin, Leipzig, Amsterdam, Vienna, Munich, London, and Cologne, to name a few.
While doing this, he devoted himself to chamber music as a member of the string trio “Belcanto Strings” and the “Mendelssohn Trio Berlin” (formerly the Salzburg Piano Trio). Further chamber music partners have included, among others, I. Vermillion, Y. Bronfman, A. Mustonen, A. Frölich, F. Leleux, V. Mendelssohn, J. Rachlin, W. Fuchs, M.P. Langlamet, B. Schmid, E. Bashkirowa, G. Causse, and N. Znaider.
