    Komitas Museum-Institute to open in Yerevan this year

    Komitas

    The Armenian Government has decided to establish a Komitas
    Museum-Institute to create favorable conditions for collecting
    information about the life and work of the great Armenian composer,
    for studying, preserving and popularizing his legacy. It will also
    serve to protect the traditions of the Armenian religious and folk
    music, promote the development of creative abilities of young people
    in the field of national, folk, classical and modern music.

    Despite the invaluable role of Komitas, his legacy and personal
    belongings are kept in different organizations today - the Literature
    and Art Museum after Yeghishe Charents, the archives of the Art
    Institute of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences.

    The Armenian President suggested the idea of creating Komitas
    Museum-Institute at the sitting of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund on
    May 30, 2013. The museum will be built in the park named after
    Komitas, "Pyunik" All Armenian Relief Fund will cover the expenses
    with the support of Syrian Armenian benefactor Gabriel Zemberjyan.
    Construction works are expected to be completed by the end of the
    current year.

    The initiative is a priority this year, considering that 2014 has been
    proclaimed Komitas year on the 145thbirth anniversary of the great
    composer.
