Win tickets to hear Narek Hakhnazaryan perform with the Fresno Philharmonic

You can win a pair of tickets to hear acclaimed Armenian cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan perform with the Fresno Philharmonic as part of the orchestra’s Masterworks series. The concert is 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 22, at the Saroyan Theatre.

Music director Rei Hotoda is calling this concert “Bird Tales.” Hakhnazaryan will perform Saint-Saens’ beloved “The Swan” (along with the composer’s cello concerto). Other pieces contributing to the avian theme include Stravinski’s “The Firebird” and Siamak Aghaei and Colin Jacobsen’s “Ascending Bird.”

Hakhnazaryan is making a return visit to Fresno. His honors include winning the gold medal for cello at the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition.
