 www.musicofarmenia.com informs that the winner of this year’s Credit Suisse Young Artist Award is Sergey Khachatryan. The announcement was made this afternoon in Vienna by the jury, which is chaired by Lucerne Festival’s Executive and Artistic Director, Michael Haefliger. The award comes with a cash prize of 75,000 Swiss francs – one of the highest awards in the field – and also involves appearing in concert with the Vienna Philharmonic as part of Lucerne Festival in Summer. The concert will take place on 13 September 2014 under the direction of Gustavo Dudamel.

Sergey Khachatryan was born in Yerevan, Armenia. In 2000 he won the prestigious Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki and, in 2005, first prize at the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Brussels. He has performed with such internationally acclaimed orchestras and conductors as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris under Andris Nelsons, the Bamberg Symphony under Jonathan Nott, the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Boston Symphony. His plans for the current season include concerts with the Rotterdam Philharmonic  and with the Vienna Symphony.
