I should say that we composers are lucky to have a musician of your caliber and dedication in presenting these new works to audiences. One would\u00a0have a hard time to imagine the challenges that you faced in learning these works written in a musical language that is not traditional, as the concert of Saturday demonstrated. I would wish that other musicians were as dedicated as you are in promoting the works of living composers, it is a priviledge to have you as a champion of our compositions.<br \/>\nFinally I should add that I enjoyed the performances of all the twelve lullabies. Each one of them written in a different musical idiom and each one communicating a different mood made the concert very interesting for its given variety.<br \/>\nThank you for all your dedication to new music,<\/p>\n<p>Hayg Boyadjian-composer<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.haygboyadjian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.haygboyadjian.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_357\" style=\"width: 118px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Haygs-photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-357\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-357  \" title=\"Hayg's photo\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Haygs-photo-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"108\" height=\"108\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hayg Boyadjian<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PA030382.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"PA030382\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PA030382-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hayg &amp; Aaron, Wellfleet 2010<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received this note on December 19th from composer Hayg Boyadjian. \u00a0I premiered his new lullaby, &#8220;Cancion de Cuna&#8221; on December 10 &amp; 18 in Cambridge &amp; Nashua. \u00a0I recorded and performed his &#8216;Mi Tango&#8217; on an Albany Records release in 2010 (Listen or Watch) Dear Aaron: I was very impressed in a number of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,68,4],"tags":[104,59,103,7],"class_list":["post-356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-concerts","category-contemporary-music","category-new-lullaby","tag-cancion-de-cuna","tag-hayg-boyadjian","tag-mi-tango","tag-new-lullaby-project"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":361,"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356\/revisions\/361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcguitar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
