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.
