vartan melkonian biography of michael jordan

There are many major challenges for us all – the whole world is just one big hospital, and there is not enough medicine to go round.

BL: What are your major achievements till date?

Sir Vartan Melkonian: I consider my major achievement is being able to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Wadie Al Safi, for example, sung the songs of Lebanon, Elvis Presley, the songs of America, Edith Piaf, of France… Each culture is decorated by its own colour characteristic to its own folkloric music, distinctive to its own tradition and culture.

BL: What are the benefits of music?

Sir Vartan Melkonian: Music benefits us in a way more profound than any other kind of inspirations, and more intimately.

I greatly enjoyed this optimistic and deftly written choral and orchestral work that “portrays the collage of the West and East meeting in symphonic form.”

Vartan, the child on the streets in the “urine-saturated alleyways” who remembers “standing on a box conducting seagulls,” also survived the notoriously difficult Northern Clubs – “I was suddenly in Skegness, an agent got me one night.

While having no formal training in music or a college degree, Melkonian was able to teach himself about music to perform first in British clubs, then in television, and finally, becoming a conductor for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra. It will be fascinating to hear Vartan’s view of these pieces – for he is entirely self-taught and approaches his profession through musical instinct: “I treat music for its own sake.”

Vartan’s background is Armenian.

On the streets, I had to make decisions crucial to my own existence, so one can only imagine how quickly I learnt to walk the dark alleyways of the city at a young age without fear. Perhaps we would be able to start putting on major public concerts again at the tail-end of 2022.

Sir Vartan Melkonian: I think of society as I think of my home.

These positions launched his singing career, and he eventually became lead singer and producer in several West End nightspots, including The Celebrite Club of New Bond Street and The Talk of The Town.[6] Later, he became a conductor for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.[7][5][8]

Contributions

Some of Melkonian’s major compositions include Impressions of Oman, a 55-minute long symphony recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra.

I think of how can I improve my home, my society? But unlike Seva Coin, Bitcoin is decentralised, which means Seva Coin is operating with the UK Company House rules and regulation. My mother passed away when I was three or four and my father could not cope with my siblings. What happened to his speech impediment? Music leaders have a special beauty, that they bring to light.

BL: How can you contribute and cooperate with society and especially with the refugees and the less fortunate people?

Sir Vartan Melkonian :  I believe we all have a certain gift unique to us which helps us improve our lives and in particular, the lives of others.

Music has no geographical or artistic boundaries; it mostly occupies the domains of the feeling. Do you feel optimistic about 2021 and 2022?

Sir Vartan Melkonian: I am optimistic, even in the face of the current gloom. He was made a Baron of Cilicia on 19th November 2015 and Sir in 1995.

Vartan is also A Motivational Public Speaker.

So, we all have our financial burdens. Melkonian called her “Mama”[3] and has said that her encouraging words in his early years, when he otherwise felt alone, “underpinned the foundation of the rest of his life.”[4] In addition to supporting him, Jacobsen also inspired Melkonian’s love for music.

But all that came to a sudden halt, with a devastating effect on the whole art industry. One minute you have packed your luggage ready to travel, next minute you are locked down, imprisoned in your own home, with nothing much to do, with a bleak foresight to the future.

BL: What are your suggestions to correct the current mishaps in the current Lebanese politics?

Sir Vartan Melkonian: My life revolves around the Art.

I compose music, conduct music, direct TV programs for the Arts, therefore, I wouldn’t be able to give any significant comments about the current political system in Lebanon, or about any country for that matter. A new idea will be launched at some point in the coming winter.

This month,  BUSINESS LIFE magazine had the opportunity for an exclusive interview with the world’s famous music conductor Sir Vartan Melkonian.

. Music and life for me is one and the same thing; they have always been inseparable phenomena; one doesn’t exist without the other.

BL: What about your experience and your past and present status in UK and abroad?

Sir Vartan Melkonian: My experience, living in the Birds Nest Orphanage at an early age and then living on the streets of Beirut, is the solid and indestructible foundation on which I have built my present status here in UK and abroad.
