Chamber Orchestra arrived in Yerevan to take part in the "One Nation,
One Culture" Armenian cultural festival. On June 25, the orchestra
will have concerts in Vanadzor, on June 27 in Yerevan.

As Noyan Tapan was informed from AGBU Armenian Office, last week
Artsakh Chamber Orchestra went on a pilgrimage dedicated to St
Hovhannes Mkrtich to Martakert with the blessing of Artsakh Diocese
leader Pargev Archbishop Martirosian. After having concerts and a
warm welcome in Martakert the orchestra left for Berdzor. The pupils
of Berdzor music school met the guests with a musical greetings
and the orchestra had a full-value concert. Seeing and feeling the
longing of Berdzor inhabitants for classical music, Gevorg Muradian,
Art Director and Principal Conductor of the orchestra, promised to
have concerts several times a year there.

The orchestra was founded in 2004 September and since the day of its
foundation the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) has assumed
sponsorship of the orchestra. AGBU not only provides monthly monetary
assistance to the orchestra members, but also pays for the apartment
and communal expenditures of musicians having arrived from Yerevan. Day
by day the orchestra is replenished with musicians from Artsakh.

The orchestra has repeatedly held concerts both in Artsakh and
in Armenia.

The orchestra’s first concert was held in 2004 October, only a month
after the start of its activity.

Over these years, besides Stepanakert, the orchestra has also performed
almost in all regions of Artsakh, as well as in Yerevan.
