Ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, a festival
dedicated to Komitas Vardapet will be held in Armenia at the initiative
of the Ministry of Diaspora. The opening ceremony will take place at
Komitas Pantheon on September 26 – the birthday of the great composer.
Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan said the festival will become
traditional. It will be held from September 26 to October 3 in Yerevan,
Gyumri, Vanadzor and Etchmiadzin. Concerts, scientific conferences
dedicated to the life and work of Komitas and other events will be
organized within that framework.
The festival will be concluded by a gala concert at the Aram
Khachaturian Concert Hall. More than 150 Armenian and foreign musicians
from 11 countries have applied for participation.
