BOSTON — Tigran Mansurian is one of the leading contemporary composers of Armenian classical music. One of his important works, Requiem, will premiere in Boston on October 18 as part of “Resilient Voices: 1915-2015,” a Friends of Armenian Culture Society (FACS) concert, in collaboration with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), in commemoration of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide.
The Harvard Radcliffe Collegium Musicum and the Boston University Marsh Chapel Choir will join with BMOP, led by the latter’s music director, Gil Rose.
