The “Armenia” International Music Festival has been one of the signature events in the Armenian Cultural life since 2017. This festival renders a strong message by presenting a new and an old Armenia: a cradle of a century-old culture and a cultural hub with creative approaches. The Armenian State Symphony Orchestra has always served as a connecting bridge between the historical cultural values of our country and the new generation. Definitely, the continuity of the “Armenia” International Music Festival testifies about the steady dedication of our targets.

I applaud to the organizing and supporting committee whose hard work has enabled the future of the festival. I welcome the dedicated audience of the festival!!!

We believe that music is the greatest tool to lift spirits, foster creativity and transcend barriers.

Good luck to all of us for the inspiring event.

Sergey Smbatyan
Artistic Director and Principal Conductor

It is my pleasure to welcome you to ‘Armenia International Music Festival’ in Yerevan!

We believe that cultural legacy should enable bridges between different nations around the world – through the most understandable language – Music. I am sure you will enjoy the performances featuring classical music stars, internationally acclaimed conductors such as Conrad van Alphen, Sergey Smbatyan and Felix Korobov and the brilliant Armenian State Symphony Orchestra, who will perform music by Armenian, Maltese and other European composers at some of the most prestigious venues in Yerevan. These include the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall and Komitas Chamber Music House.

Special thanks to the Armenian State symphony Orchestra and the Ministry of education, science, culture and sport of the Republic of Armenia for their kind collaboration as partners of this important project.

I wish you many enjoyable concerts within the Festival!

With best regards and respect,  
Mr. Konstantin Ishkhanov,
President of European Foundation for Support of Culture
