“One Nation, One Culture” All-Armenian Cultural Festival dedicated
the evening of June 27 to classical music. The chamber orchestra
of Artsakh headed by conductor Gevorg Muradian performed Komitas,
Vividly and Bach at “Aram Khachaturian” concert hall.
Before their trip to Yerevan the chamber orchestra with the assistance
of Archbishop Pargev Martirosian, head of Artsakh diocese, made a
pilgrimage to Martakert dedicated to John the Baptist and afterwards
toured to Berdzor. Gevorg Muradian promised to perform a few concerts
a year in Berdzor.
Founded in September 2004, the orchestra enjoys the support of the
Armenian General Benevolent Union. AGBU not only grants financial
support to its members but also cares for public utilities of those
musicians who moved to Artsakh from Yerevan. Yet, the chamber orchestra
is enrolling Artsakhi musicians with every day.
