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.
