YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The Hover chamber choir, a laureate
of a number of international contests, performed on tour in Germany
between September 23 to October 7. The choir performed sacred Armenian
songs, choral songs, as well as works of foreign composers at more
than ten concerts in several German cities. As Sona Hovhannisian,
the Art Director and Conductor of the choir, said at the October 31
press conference, the German public was delighted with Armenian music,
especially sacred songs. He also said that the choir will take part in
the Logos 11th sacred Christian music festival to be held on November
2-4 in Poland.
S. Hovhannisian said that the 15th anniversary of choir’s foundation
is marked this year, and a number of concerts both in Armenia and
abroad are envisaged on that occasion.
U.S. Stanford University’s Flora Family Foundation will release
choir’s 7th disk by the order of professor Hrant Khachatrian by
the end of the year. The disk will include Komitas’ secular choral
songs. By the way, Komitas’ Patarag performed by Hover’s masculine
staff in 2006 was recorded in Germany and the disks were delivered
to the most important cultural centers of the world.
