`This is the best New Year gift,’ exclaimed one of the spectators
during the concert of the Artsakh Chamber Orchestra on December 25
devoted to Christmas. As the conductor Gevorg Muradian had promised
during the previous concert, the Christmas concert was full of
surprises. Besides the already traditional repertoire the orchestra
performed works corresponding to the festive mood of the day: `Minuet’
and `Joke’ by Bach, waltzes by Strauss, Huno, Hungarian dance by
Brahms, `La Campanella’ by Paganini. Mary Karapetian andthe State
Choir of Artsakh performed `Lullaby’ by Kanachian, `News Went’ by
Satian and `Ave Maria’ by Schubert. `Silent Night’ by Bruber performed
by the orchestra and the choir imparted the concert with special
charm. The concert was closed with ` Jingle Bells’ by James Pierpoint
and `Radetski March’ by Strauss.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
