Sergey Khachatryan

Biography (read more)

Sergey Khachatryan was born on 5 April 1985 in Yerevan, Armenia, into a musical family, and moved with his family to Germany in 1993. He gave his first orchestral concert at the age of nine in Wiesbaden and studied with Josef Rissin at the Karlsruhe University of Music. In 2000 he became the youngest winner in the history of the International Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki, and in 2005 he won first prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. He performs on the 1740 Guarneri del Gesu violin once owned by Eugene Ysaye, on loan to him.

Khachatryan has recorded for Naive and EMI, with releases including the Shostakovich and Khachaturian violin concertos, the Sibelius and Beethoven concertos, and the Bach solo sonatas and partitas. He appears with orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw, the Royal Philharmonic and the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse. He is a prominent advocate of Armenian music, programming works by Komitas, Aram Khachaturian and Arno Babadjanian. He frequently performs in duo with his sister, the pianist Lusine Khachatryan.
