Sergey Khachatryan is one of the most beloved violinists in Valencia since he made his debut here almost 10 years ago. Khachatryan won the First Prize at the VIII International Jean Sibelius Competition in Helsinki in December 2000, becoming the youngest winner in the history of this competition. Now, not yet 40 years old, he is one of the great international stars and his special relationship with Valencia has led him to accept to be our artist-in-residence in 2022-2023. He will play Kachaturian, whose music Sergey himself emphasizes that “it contains the story of the tragedy of our people”.
