1956

Constantine Garrievich Orbelian, Jr. (Կոնստանտին Օրբելյան, Константин Гарриевич Орбелян, born San Francisco, 27 August 1956) is an American conductor and pianist of Armenian and Russian descent.

He is named after his paternal uncle Konstantin Orbelyan, a major Armenian composer.

Born in San Francisco to Russian and Armenian émigré parents, Orbelian Orbelian made his debut as a piano prodigy with the San Francisco Symphony at the age of 11.

After graduating from The Juilliard School in New York, he embarked on a career as a concert pianist appearing with major symphony orchestras throughout the U.S., U.K., Europe, and the Soviet Union.

His recording of the Khachaturian piano concerto with conductor Neeme Järvi won "Best Concerto Recording of the Year" award in the United Kingdom.

He was also a guest conductor for the American Russian Young Artists Orchestra.

1987

Orbelian's début recording was Aram Khachaturian Khatchaturian's Piano Concerto, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra Scottish National Orchestra under Neeme Järvi (1987, Chandos CHAN 8542).

1991

Orbelian's appointment in 1991 as music director of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra was a breakthrough event: he is the first American ever to become music director of an ensemble in Russia.

He was later the music director of the Philharmonia of Russia and is the founder of the annual Palaces of St. Petersburg International Music Festival.

1995

From his 1995 performance at the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of the United Nations in San Francisco to his 2004 performance at the U.S. State Department commemorating 70 years of diplomatic relations between Washington and Moscow, and a repeat State Department appearance in 2007, all with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, Orbelian continues to use his artistic eminence in the cause of international goodwill.

2001

He and his orchestras have also participated in cultural enrichment programs for young people in Russia and the U.S. In 2001 Orbelian was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, an award given to immigrants, or children of immigrants, who have made outstanding contributions to the United States.

2003

A politically and artistically significant recording was Where Are You, My Brothers? — new arrangements of songs from the World War II-era performed by Dmitry Hvorostovsky and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, and presented in front of an audience of 6,000 at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow in the spring of 2003.

The telecast was seen on Russian Television by over 90 million viewers.

2004

A tireless champion of Russian-American cultural exchange and international ambassadorship through his worldwide tours, Orbelian was awarded the coveted title "Honored Artist of Russia" in 2004, a title never before bestowed on a non-Russian citizen.

The same program was performed with the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra for survivors of the Siege of Leningrad on January 16, 2004.

Orbelian's collaborations with Hvorostovsky also included recordings of sentimental songs in Moscow Nights and Wait for Me, and Verdi's Simon Boccanegra.

2010

In May 2010, Orbelian led the opening Ceremonial Concert for the Cultural Olympics in Sochi — the first event setting the stage for Russia's hosting of the Olympic Games in 2014.

2012

In 2012 the Consulate in San Francisco awarded him the Russian Order of Friendship Medal, whose illustrious ranks include pianist Van Cliburn and conductor Riccardo Muti, and which singles out non-Russians whose work contributes to the betterment of international relations with the Russian Federation and its people.
