AHEAD OF GENOCIDE CENTENNIAL: COMMEMORATION CONCERT HELD IN ARMENIA'S GYUMRI
10:49 * 21.10.14
A joint concert by the State Symphomic Orchestra and Folk Instruments'
Ensemble of Gyumri marked the beginning of commemoration ceremonies
preceding the Armenian Genocide centennial.
The program included composer Tatul Altunyan's "Desert Valley" (which
was played in the second largest city for the first time ever), as
well as classical and folk music and melodies, and dances. The concert
was attended by the regional governor of Shirak, Felix Tsolakyan,
and representatives of the regional and municipal authorities.
The idea was not only to share the Armenian nation's grief and pain
but also to highlight its potential of moving forward, the concert's
initiator, Hasmik Kirakosyan, told the state news agency Armenpress.
"This was not only mourning and pain but also boldness, and passion
for life, a big hope and belief, the Armenian's strong will and
tomorrow's day," she said.
The concert's director was Hovhannes Hovhannisyan, a merited artist of
the Republic of Armenia. The event was held under the high patronage
of Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan.
