Culture Minister of Armenia suggests creating an all-Armenian  symphonic orchestra

ArmInfo. The Minister of Culture of Armenia Armen Amirian reported today to the President of the Republic on one of the priority areas of the Ministry -  propagation and development of the Armenian culture in Armenia and abroad, new initiatives of the Ministry aimed at boosting the cultural life in the capital as well as in the regions of the country. 

The press office of the Armenian President reports that Serzh  Sargsyan spoke about this recently in his summary report at the 16th  Convention of the Republican Party. Armen Amirian discussed with the  President of Armenia opportunities to implement them and to present  Armenia at its best through its culture on the international arena.  The Minister also informed the President of the request of those  working in the area of culture to meet with the President of Armenia.  The President agreed with pleasure to meet and converse with them and  noted that he too felt the necessity of such meeting since he has  many questions and asked them to be prepared for a candid  conversation.

Armen Amirian suggested creating an all-Armenian symphonic orchestra  which will comprise our talented musicians performing in different  corners of the world. According to Mr. Amirian, the first concert  might be held on April 24, 2017 and then throughout the year, the  orchestra would perform in a number of cities where the number of  Armenians is considerable.

The President of Armenia welcomed the idea and underscored that it  almost totally corresponds to his vision of Armenia-Spyurk  cooperation and that he was sure that in a way it would also be  symbolic: first of all, it signifies harmony, ability to work  together and there is a change that the orchestra could become an  example of a coherent and joint works for other areas.
