A few days ago, the concert of a Dutch choir “CAUCASICA” was held at the Aram Khachaturyan House –Museum; the members of the choir had arrived in Yerevan just a few days before.

This mixed choir has around twenty-year-old history and their concert playlist includes Armenian, Georgian, Russian and Dutch chorals.

The Art Director and Chief Conductor of the “CAUCASICA” choir is our compatriot, a Pedagogical University alumnus Yuri Makarov. Since 1995, he has developed active work in Netherlands, membered various collectives and successfully disseminated the art of composing various countries.

On this occasion, the ASPU winner of international and republican competitions “Ave Maria” choir with the Art Director Artashes Baburyan performed during the concert. The concert was wrapped-up with the joint performance of both choirs.

A few days after the concert, both choirs had joint rehearsals at the hall of the Faculty of Culture, in the course of which they learned a piece from the liturgy by Makar Yekmalyan the “Surb – Surb” [Saint-Saint].

The members of the “Ave Maria” choir welcomed the foreign guests with great excitement and introduced them with the Armenian culture.
