This unique lecture will present Armenian Classical Music from the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. It is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide which is one of the most important events that all Armenians and the world respect and remember. Armenian Classical music is based on folk. Sipan Olah will present Armenian composers such as Tigran Chukhajyan, Kristapor Kara-Murza, Makar Ekmalyan, Komitas and many others and their most valuable and priceless work in collecting the Armenian folk music from the entire historic land of Armenia before the 1915 Genocide and arranging these tunes for the professional ensembles uplifting Armenian Classical music to the European Standards.
