“The new government has its vision and I don’t fit the political profile,” said David Harutyunyan before leaving the Guayaquil Philharmonic

The first day of work of the new mayor of Guayaquil Achilles Alvarezbegan reporting on Monday, May 15 directors who will no longer perform their duties.

Only yesterday after 10:30 pm it was publicly announced that the teacher’s departure was also on that list David Harutyunyan of the Municipal Philharmonic Orchestra of Guayaquila project promoted by the Culture Directorate of the City Council of Buenos Aires, of the Board of Jamie Nebot.

The news has been released by the wife of the Armenian director, the singer Pamela Cortés. “It hurts me deeply to know that today David Harutyunyan has been notified of his departure. He will not become director of the Municipal Philharmonic Orchestra, nor of the free municipal art academies. He has contributed so much culture to our city with passion and today this dream is extinguished”, the interpreter from Guayaquil added Twitter.

It’s the same without taste what is observed in Harutyunyan’s terse words, when asked this morning statements about his departure. “You can imagine it yourself. After 21 years on the Ecuadorian stage, without stopping for a day(for me) it is a sensitive brake,” says the European musician who worked in Guayaquil for more than two decades, first in the Municipal Symphony Orchestrathen in the Municipal Philharmonic, which he created in 2017, “from scratch”, stands out. “This orchestra did not exist. I made it an emblem of the city.”

David Harutyunyan remembers that On Monday around 4.20 pm he was informed of the dismissal by e-mail, in an act that qualifies as “absolutely formal.” “Of course I will draw. Why did they ask me? Don’t know. Surely the new government has its specific vision and I do not fit the corresponding political profile”, the conductor assesses. “Each ruler administers in his own way and it is his absolute right.”

As for his near future, the musician still does not share the horizon you want to trace. ‘I still can’t say anything. But I will have to make decisions about what to do in the very near future”.

Maestro Harutyunyan’s final presentation with the Guayaquil Municipal Philharmonic Orchestra just took place during Mayor Alvarez’s holding, on Sunday, May 14 at the Palacio de Cristal. At the end of April, the musician was given the opportunity conducted for the first time the two orchestras under his directionthe Municipal and the Guayaquil Symphony, in the historic concert For peace and unity, which took place at the Teatro Sánchez Aguilar, in Samborondón.
