Client Spotlight: Pegasus: The Orchestra

Amineddoleh & Associates’ client, Pegasus: The Orchestra, proudly debuted this past month with two triumphant premiere concerts, and has already been showcased by several news outlets for its musicians’ exceptional talent and the orchestra’s bold mission statement.

The orchestra’s debut concert premiered on October 13, 2017 at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in New York City to sold out audiences. The evening featured pieces by Debussy, Komitas, Mendelssohn and an original work, Cras Es Noster (Tomorrow, Be Ours) by the Orchestra’s founder, artistic director and principal conductor, Karén Hakobyan. Original paintings by artist Hakob Hakobyan and Michael Aram’s Pegasus sculpture bookended the orchestra’s six musicians during the performance.  The successful event was covered by the Voices of Armenia television program on the NYC Life Channel. Proceeds from the event benefitted the Armenia Fund’s Artsakh Housing Project.

Pegasus also debuted its “Pegasus at Mana” concert series on October 21, 2017 at Mana Contemporary, an industrial warehouse that has been converted into a cutting edge arts complex in Jersey City. The concert was extensively featured by Al Jazeera, which highlighted the orchestra’s more casual, intimate take on classical music performance. Get Classical also recently published an excellent insight into Pegasus: The Orchestra’s mission, members and its partnership with Mana Contemporary.

Inspired by the winged stallion and friend to the muses of Greek myth, Pegasus: The Orchestra was formed in October 2017 to bring together musicians and audiences of diverse backgrounds and cultural heritages by sharing unique, creative programming that mixes famous orchestral pieces with lesser known or novel works, all played by world-renowned musicians. The Orchestra will be sharing it mission at the Mana Contemporary Center and a multitude of venues around the world this year.
