A Classical Music Concert:    Drake Passage, a symphonic Poem

composed and conducted by   Vartan Melkonian, conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Performed by the Beirut Symphony Orchestra

 

 

 

 

The concert is a tribute to a Danish missionary, Maria Jacobsen, "Mama" of all the orphans of the Birds Nest orphanage, set up by Maria Jacobsen in 1928 in Byblos,  Jbeil.   In 1950's Vartan Melkonian was brought to the orphanage after the passing away of his mother at the age ofthree,   where he stayed until the age of eight.  Maria has been instrumental in inspiring  love  for classical music playing vinyl records of Beethoven and others for children of the orphanage, where Vartan Melkonian was caught in the spell of music and  where from he got the passion for classical Music.   From Birds Nest to the street life, Vartan Melkonian carried music in his heart and conquered the heights of ClassicalMusic becoming conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and London Symphony Orchestra, a reputation merited duly.
