ARA MALIKIAN INTRUSO TOUR

Concert

In his current tour, Intruso, the iconic and charismatic violinist Ara Malikian will immerse you in the world of music, inspired by the stories of his childhood, his diverse cultural identity, and the impressions of his personal life.

The upcoming repertoire includes both classical and original compositions that cross the boundaries of classical music.

Once again, the musician’s unique style will bring together traditional melodies from different cultures and classical works, performed with his trademark passion and virtuosity.

"This tour is the result of watching my son grow up. It is also the result of my own personal growth while caring for him. These are all the sounds and melodies that try to shape what I have felt and what has inspired me as we have spent time together. It is a meeting with the child I could not be and the one I would have dreamed of being. It is a tribute to those beings — children — who are as free as a free bird."

ABOUT THE ARTIST Ara Malikian, a virtuoso violinist of Lebanese origin and Armenian roots, has made music his refuge and compass in life. Born in Beirut in 1968, the Lebanese Civil War marked his childhood, forcing him to seek solace in melody while practicing in basements and bomb shelters. Despite the hardships, his innate talent carried him onto the world’s great stages.

At the age of just 12, Ara Malikian gave his first major concert, astonishing audiences with his virtuosity. At 14, his fate took an unexpected turn when conductor Hans Herbert-Jöris, captivated by his talent, secured him a scholarship from the German government to study at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover.

Ara Malikian’s career took off rapidly. At 15, he recorded his first album in Spain, and מאז then he has worked with renowned artists on stages such as Teatro Real in Madrid, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and Luna Park in Argentina, among others. His unique style, which blends different musical genres with incomparable sensitivity, has made him one of the most acclaimed violinists on the international stage.
