The founder members of the Union of Young Armenian Composers and
Performers - singer, composer Arsen Babajanyan, pianist, composer
Gevorg Badalyan and composer Mavr Lazarian spoke at the December 14
news conference about the main issues and goals of the organization.
"Our goal is promote the development of contemporary Armenian music
art and make it popular. We also want to increase the image of
composers among the society," founder chairman of the organization
Arsen Babajanyan said.
It is necessary to establish ties between the composers and different
layers of the society, making the Armenian authors known both in
their homeland and abroad. "I had an occasion to contact with foreign
composers, and I may state that our Armenian composers do not concede
them with anything. There is just one difference: while creating the
foreign composers are convinced that their works will be voiced and
Armenian young composers are creating greater works, being convinced
that they will not be heard," pianist, composer Gevorg Badalyan noted.
"As far as the works of young composers are not being voiced here,
they seek to leave for abroad but it will do no good," composer Mavr
Lazarian said.
The union gathered a number of young musicians.
