Armenia Fund Signals Completion of Phoneathon 2007
Charity Concert "For You, Armenia" to Support Hayastan All Armenian Fund
Telethon 2008
Yerevan, November 21, 2008 – Hayastan All Armenian Fund is pleased to
announce that on November 24, a charity concert titled "For You, Armenia" is
to take place in Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall with participation of the best
students of Arno Babajanyan Music College, Konstantin Sarajyan Music School
and Haikanush Danielyan Art School. Proceeds from the concert will be
donated to the Hayastan Fund Telethon 2008.
This initiative is our young musicians’ contribution to the Hayastan Fund
Rural Development Program, within which vital infrastructures – schools,
kindergartens, and water and gas pipelines – will be constructed and
rehabilitated in Armenia and Artsakh.
The concert will feature favorite pieces of Armenian and Western European
composers performed by the choir and best students, among them laureates of
international contests.
"It’s not the first time our students are participating in charity concerts
supporting Hayastan Fund fundraising activity. I think each and every
Armenian should recognize his duty of National Giving and it is events like
this that instill patriotism and devotion to the Homeland."- says Armen
Harutyunyan, acting director of Babajanyan Music College, professor of
Yerevan Conservatory.
For years now, within its educational projects, Hayastan Fund has been
supporting students of Armenian and Artsakh music schools by providing them
with musical instruments for temporary use. Some students of the above
mentioned schools have been among the beneficiaries too.
"We believe that these initiatives help young people to realize that
education is a powerful tool that helps to love and appreciate one’s
homeland, as well as stretch out a hand when needed", points out Hayastan
Fund Acting Executive Director Ara Vardanyan.
The charity concerts and performances that took place in Armenia and abroad
during the few months come to prove that the Fund has gained widespread
recognition and appreciation for successfully meeting the needs and
aspirations of the time.
