Internationally renowned violinist Sergey Khachatryan and the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra, under the artistic direction of chief conductor Edward Topchyan, are returning to Syunik to transform the grandeur of nature into a symphony of sounds.
This tour, which is part of the "Philharmonic in the Regions" program, is not only a major cultural event but also a significant step towards making high-quality classical music accessible in the regions and revitalizing spiritual life.
The regional tours of our country's first and foremost orchestra, which has conquered world stages, carry both strategic and symbolic significance, and since 2024, performances featuring world-famous violinist Sergey Khachatryan on Syunik stages have become a beautiful annual tradition.
This year, the tour will kick off on July 29 with a concert at the Meghri Regional Cultural Center, followed by a concert on July 30 at the Kapan Cultural Center, and the concluding concert on July 31 at the V. Vagharsyan State Drama Theatre in Goris. The partners for the concerts in Meghri and Kapan are the Zangezur and Agarak Copper-Molybdenum Combine.
During these exceptional evenings, the audience will be presented with masterpieces of world and Armenian classical music, including Max Bruch's Violin Concerto and Aram Khachaturian's music for the drama "Masquerade."
For the National Philharmonic Orchestra and the renowned violinist Sergey Khachatryan, performing in their native regions is not just another concert tour, but an important mission. The cultural decentralization and the implementation of similar projects in strategically and spiritually significant centers like Syunik provide the local audience with the opportunity to engage with international high-performance art right at home.
This year, the "Philharmonic in the Regions" program began in June with concerts held in Ashtarak, Vagharshapat, Hrazdan, and Charentsavan, dedicated to the 105th anniversaries of Arno Babajanyan and Edward Mirzoyan.
