X LALALA presents: Ara MALIKIAN
Don’t miss the electrifying performance of Ara Malikian, the virtuoso violinist, as he brings his cosmopolitan violin to the City of Athens Lycabettus Theatre on June 25, 2024, on a thrilling journey of musical narratives fueled by his passionate sounds.
Despite the challenges of the Lebanese civil war, Malikian found solace in music. His father’s legacy and his grandfather’s violin inspired him to master the violinist’s art, which enabled him to pursue a lifelong career as a travelling musician.
Malikian’s exceptional talent, creativity, and relentless pursuit of music have earned him worldwide acclaim. Yet, he remains focused on his mission to share the power of music and bring happiness to people’s lives.
The violin serves as a driving force for Ara Malikian as he recounts the milestones of his life. He blends classical musical structures with Mediterranean sounds, infusing Armenian folk melodies with solid doses of rock and pop timbre. Malikian has assimilated the music of Middle Eastern, Central European, Argentinian, and Spanish cultures, creating a unique and personal musical language characterised by the virtuosity and expressiveness of the great European tradition.
