The Yerevan State Chamber Choir will fully perform “Berlin Liturgy” by prominent Armenian composer Komitas for the first time.

The work will be performed during a concert which will take place at Komitas Chamber Music Hall on March 27, at 7pm, the choir’s press service reported.

The concert program also features “Apricot Tree", “Plowmen's Song of Lori”, “This Night, Moonlit Night”, to name a few.

The event is the final part of the seven concert series initiated by the chamber choir to mark the great composer’s 150th birthday anniversary.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
