President Serzh Sargsyan and Mrs. Rita Sargsyan met today with over
250 representatives of intelligentsia at the Komitas Chamber Music
Hall. They were invited here at the initiative of the Ministry of
Culture to celebrate Old Style New Year.

At the Chamber Music Hall, which has been totally renovated through the
state budget allocations, the President of Armenia and representatives
of intelligentsia attended also the concert of the newly established
children’s chamber music orchestra. This exceptional group was
created on November 20 – the international Day of the Convention on
the Protection of Child’s Rights, under the auspices of UNESCO. The
youngest member of the orchestra is only 8 years old, while the
concertmaster and the first violinist is an eleven years old girl. The
orchestra comprises also children from the regions of Armenia.

At the conclusion of the concert, the representatives of intelligentsia
conversed with the President, told him about their problems and came
up with suggestions.
