“… a pianist of a superior order. Her tone is deep and rich, her articulation faultless and her feeling for the pulse of the music she is as natural as breathing.”
– Martin Anderson, klassiskmusikk.com
“[Polina] Osetinskaya is a pianist of sheer refinement; her fingers zipped like hummingbirds through impossibly soft feathery runs.”
– Richard Scheinin, rancholapuerta.com
The concert is organized as part of a partnership program between the Primavera Foundation of Armenia, the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall, and the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia
