FRESNO — Award winning pianist Sofya Melikyan will perform in recital as part of the Philip Lorenz Memorial Keyboard Concert Series at Fresno State. The performance will take place at 8:00 pm on Friday, October 14 in the Concert Hall on the Fresno State campus. Melikyan will be performing works by Granados, Liebermann, Babadjanian, and Liszt.
