A three-day conference titled "The music and music libraries in the
21st century" dedicated to 300th birth anniversary of Sayat-Nova
kicked off at Khnko Aper Library today. The forum is held within the
framework of the events dedicated to the 500th anniversary of Armenian
printing and the proclamation of Yerevan as World Book Capital 2012.
The conference has brought together scholars from the United States,
Australia, Italy, Great Britain and Switzerland.
"The three-day conference of music libraries organized with the
framework of celebration of the 300th anniversary of Armenian printing
is a resolute step towards a developed and valued library, towards
music," President of the Armenian Association of Libraries Ruzanna
Tonoyan said in her opening remarks.
According to her, the conference is an exceptional opportunity to
call the attention to culture and libraries. "It can help raise the
role of libraries and the work of librarians," she added.
"The conference dedicated to Sayat-Nova's 300th birthday evidences
that in this changing world of digitalization and digital libraries
we must succeed to combine the maintenance of universal values with
the modern scientific achievements. Music libraries should change in
the digitalized world and the melodies must be disseminated through
the Internet," she said.
Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosyan said the forum provides another
opportunity to speak about Sayat-Nova.
Organizers say the three-day conference will contribute to the
development of music libraries, popularization of musical values
and will help disclose the creative potential of the new generation,
thus contributing to the rise of the role of national music.
A number of events will be organized on the sidelines of the
conference, including an exhibition on "Armenian musical literature,"
book presentations, film screenings and a concert featuring Armenian
and foreign singers.
