The Dutch choir performed 10 love songs by Komitas, great Armenian
composer who lived in the first half of the 20th century, in Sisian
Town, Armenia. The travelling singers of Utrecht learned the songs
from the Armenian community in Holland. The choir was helped by the
singer Bilda Simonyan.
The Dutch singers say the Armenian melodies are special, they sound
different. In Holland there are a lot of choirs which perform Armenian
songs, especially the Armenian oratory by Khachatur Avetisyan which
is very popular in Holland.
The travelling singers' choir was established 6 years ago. It includes
23 people of different age and occupations. They go on tours twice a
year and choose the countries where choir art is popular. Armenia is
the third country after Slovenia and Macedonia. This time the Dutch
choir performed together with the Armenian women's choir of Sisian.
