May 4 2021

Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall will host a concert on Tuesday at 19.30 to open the 12th edition of the Armenian Composers’ Art Festival. The concert programme features works by Ghazaros Saryan, Arno Babajanyan, Jivan Ter-Tadevosyan. Violinist Hayk Kazazyan will perform with the State Symphony Orchestra of Armenia. The concert will be conducted by Vahagn Papyan. 

The Armenian Composers’ Art Festival will be held this year from May 4 to 22, aiming to  popularize the works of Armenian classic and contemporary composers’ works, recording of the symphony and chamber works of Armenian composers as well as digitization of the scores.  Each year the festival traditionally bears the name of one famous composer, whose anniversary is being celebrated during that year. The Festival is held twice a year, and each session consists of 5-6 concerts.

Emil Lazarian: “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
