Scheduled for September and October 2025, the fourth edition of The Modern Composers International Music Festival (ModComFest) organised by its President Konstantin Ishkhanov titled Portrait des Compositeurs d’Aujourd’hui: Michel Petrossian, will soon unfold in Italy and Paris, celebrating the exceptional work of Michel Petrossian, a visionary French-Armenian composer lauded for his ability to merge the richness of ancient civilisations with futuristic soundscapes.Petrossian rose to international prominence in 2000 when Académie des Beaux-Arts de L’Institut de France awarded him the Prix Veuve Buchère and then again in 2012 when he won the Grand Prize at the Queen Elisabeth International Composition Competition. Since then, his diverse repertoire spans concert halls, film scores, ballet, and opera, with performances at esteemed venues like Carnegie Hall and Théâtre du Châtelet.
Featuring dazzling concerts spanning symphonic, chamber and vocal music as well as ballet, ModComFest 2025 will host musical performances at iconic venues, with renowned musicians bringing the illustrious composer’s works to life. The festival will open on September 14, 2025 with a concert in Chieti’s Teatro Marrucino. It will proceed on September 20, 2025, in Paris at the Auditorium du Petit Palais with Chanter l’icône, performed by Ensemble Musicatreize under the baton of Roland Hayrabédian.
On October 2, 2025, it continues at the Auditorium du CRR de Paris with a performance.
