On 5 May 2009 the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
in Armenia, within the framework of UNDP project "Music and Public
Outreach in the Regions: Highlighting the Needs of the Regions through
a Cultural Lens," addressed environmental issues in Tavush region
through a concert and a public awareness campaign in the city of
Dilijan. The performance was given by the National Chamber Orchestra
of Armenia (NCOA), led by maestro Aram Gharabekian.
The event in Dilijan was the last in the series. All the concerts
and public awareness campaigns received an overwhelming response
from the audience in Ararat, Syunik, Kotayk, Gegharkunik, Shirak and
Tavush regions.
The main objective of the project is to support the revival of cultural
life in the regions, break the cultural isolation and raise public
awareness on the needs of communities using culture and, particularly,
music as vehicle for this purpose.
