Today, on the Initiative of the Centre of Culture, a series of events on the 99th anniversary –commemoration were launched with a memorial-matinee at the hall of the Faculty of Culture of the Pedagogical University.
During the event lecturers and students from the Faculty of Art Education as well as performers from the Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas, such as winners of Republican and International Competitions, together with the choir of the Faculty of Art Education of the Pedagogical University, conducted by Artashes Baburyan with the soloists Arminei Ojakhyan, Sona Petrosyan, Marianna Avetisyan, Gayanei Voskanyan, Maria Qocharyan, Shaqe Tadevosyan, Manush Haroutyunyan (Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas) presented their musical peaces; the event was concluded with the performance of the Violin Ensemble.
The performers not only paid a tribute to the memory of the innocent victims of the 1915 Genocide with their musical pieces, but once again assured that even if in a year’s time, according to the rule accepted all over the world, the Armenian Issue will become history and a whole nation that committed the Genocide will be relieved of responsibility, and the
Armenian Claim will be taken out of the leading countries’ courts, still no code of rules will be able to force us to forget that horrible disaster.
“The musical pieces were not soppy, instead, they were creating the appropriate mood prior to the commemorative anniversary, a mood that is inspiring with optimism and belief towards bright future”, mentioned the Director of the Centre of Culture, Professor Arkady Shekunts during his interview with the old.aspu.am expressing his desire for the students to refer to the classical music much closer one day as it is eternity.
