/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Komitas Chamber Choir will mark the composer's 140th
birthday with series of concerts in the countries where Komitas lived
or worked.
Besides Armenian towns, the choir will tour Germany, France,
Switzerland and Italy.
"The Armenian spiritual music was represented to the West thanks to
Komitas," music expert Mher Navoyan said.
Head of the chamber choir Robert Mikaelyan said they are planning to
release a DC of Komitas' music in their performance.
Turkey was excluded from the list of countries to be toured.
"Komitas is a victim of the Armenian Genocide. How can we give
a concert in the perpetrator country, which denies this crime
against humanity, demolishes or appropriates Armenian cultural
heritage?" Navoyan said.
