The "Little singers of Armenia" choir directed by Tigran Hekekyan has
returned home after a 40-day tour across Japan. The series of concerts
in 18 cities of Japan was dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the
Armenian-Japanese relations and the 500th anniversary of Armenian
printing, as well as the proclamation of Yerevan as World Book Capital
2012 by UNESCO.
The Armenian choir of little singers was invited by the famous
Japanese Min-On Concert Association. The audience in Japan was
impressed by the complex and diverse repertoire of the choir, the
brilliant performance of the Armenian children, the interpretation
of Japanese works. Youths of both Japanese and Armenian nations sang
shoulder to shoulder a Japanese favorite classic Furusato (Homeland),
Tigran Hekekyan told reporters today.
The final concert at the famous Tokyo-City was really impressive.
Armenian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Japan Hrant
Poghosyan said after the concert: "The children did a great work to
deepen the cultural cooperation between the two countries. During
their tour the Armenian Embassy was receiving a number of calls from
people in Japan interested in visiting Armenia. This was truly a
great achievement."
