Keron Foundation to National Philharmonic with recruitment of  musicians

ArmInfo. The Keron Foundation, within the framework of its Talent Pool program, will invite talented musicians and specialists from other countries to live, work and  share their experience in Armenia, who will join the ranks of the  National Philharmonic Orchestra.

The corresponding memorandum of cooperation was signed on June 19 by  the director of the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia Norayr  Nazaryan and the chairman of the Keron Foundation Vanane Ararktsyan.  In an interview with journalists on the sidelines of the memorandum  signing ceremony, the artistic director and principal conductor of  the National Philharmonic Orchestra Eduard Topchyan noted that today  the orchestra lacks solo parts for trombone, piccolo flute, bassoon,  trumpet and French horn. He expressed hope that thanks to this  initiative, it will be possible to attract and fill the gap in the  National Orchestra with high-level European musicians. These  musicians, according to Maestro Topchyan, will also teach the younger  generation of Armenian musicians, which will allow us to have a good  brass school in Armenia in a few years, which, as he admitted, we are  experiencing some difficulties with now. The younger generation,  thanks to this, will be able to join the ranks of not only the  Philharmonic, but also other orchestras of Armenia in the future and,  as a result, present classical music to the world at a high level.   , -  Eduard Topchyan emphasized.

Head of the Keron Foundation Vanane Ararktsyan noted in turn that  within the framework of the adopted policy, the Foundation has 5  strategic directions, which are aimed at changing the environment in  our country. Among these 5 areas, pays the most attention to  art and culture, given the weight of the implemented programs in  these areas. , - she  emphasized.

The program of the Foundation is aimed at  attracting leading specialists from various fields around the world,  creating sustainable opportunities for them to live and work in  Armenia for a period of 3 to 5 years or more, as well as encouraging  cooperation and knowledge transfer between fields to stimulate  innovation and growth.

The Foundation itself was created quite recently - in the  spring of 2024. Its mission is to promote transformative changes in  Armenia through initiatives that support culture, education, sports,  healthcare and territorial development, while supporting talent from  around the world and strengthening local capabilities.
