"Musical November" Ara Malikian in Marbella

Ara Malikian is one of the most recognized and brilliant violinists of today. This artist was born in Lebanon within an Armenian family, he began his career as a violinist at an early age, instilled by his father.

At the age of only fifteen the German government awarded him with a scholarship to continue his studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover. Afterwards he continued his studies at Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.

This artist has succeeded in uniting his own Armenian roots with the music of other cultures such as that of Central Europe, Middle East, Argentina and Spain, translating all this into his personal style filled with rhythmic strength and emotion, combined with the expressiveness and virtuosity of the European tradition.

The quality of the artist as a violinist has been recognized in numerous international competitions, among which we highlight awards such as the Felix Mendelssohn (Germany), Pablo Sarasate (Spain), Niccolo Paganini (Italy) and Zino Francescatti (France).

Malikian Ara has an extensive discography with Warner Music, including works of Antonio Vivaldi, JS Bach, Nicolo Paganini, Astor Piazzola, Armenian music , together with the flamenco guitarist José Luis Montón.
