YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. On September 21, the day of the declaration of Armenia’s Independence, a concert will be held with the participation of “Independence Generation” orchestra and choir in the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex.

One of the musicians is violist 22-year-old Asatur Asaturyan. He came to Armenia from Aleppo 5 months ago for permanent residence. He wants to continue his music studies in Armenia.

He says performing in the “Independence Generation” orchestra is a great experience for him.

“Various violists are training with us these days, I learn a lot from them. Moreover, the contract with the Armenian musicians is interesting. This is master class for me”, he said.
