Reporting Concert of the Hayartun Center’s “Hayos Band” Ensemble |
On July 1, 2015, the “Hayos Band” vocal-instrumental ensemble (Artistic Director – Vladimir Asaturov) of the Hayartun Center gave a professional and high-quality reporting concert in the Calouste Gulbenkian Hall of the center. Solo performers Ani Hovhannisyan and Marianna Sahakyan presented Armenian, Georgian, Russian and English songs to the accompaniment of the ensemble’s instrumentalists (percussions – Sergey Kamalov, tom-tom – Erik Georkov , keyboards – Eduard Zalinyan, guitar – Richard Harutyunyan, bass-guitar – Gari Amirkhanyan). The audience, including the parents, friends and employees of the center, was very impressed and was loudly applauding. The suggestion to create a vocal-instrumental ensemble made by famous musician Vladimir Asaturov two years ago was accepted enthusiastically. However, soon certain difficulties arose. Many newly registered young members of the ensemble were not familiar with musical instruments. With the support of the Diocese and the Hayartun Center, the ensemble was provided with necessary musical instruments. The efforts of the Artistic Director resulted in high-quality performance and repertoire enrichment. |
