The Armenian Museum Presents: Kez Het Hayastan (With You, Armenia)

Welcome to the third in our Online Concert Series! Like so many cultural institutions, the Museum has been focusing on virtual programming during the COVID-19 shutdown. While we are unable to welcome the public into our galleries for concerts as we have in the past, we still are committed to providing cultural programming by whatever means we can. This month we are featuring Armenian sopranos, Hasmik Meikhanedjian, Alvard Mayilyan, and Anahit Zakaryan. They will be accompanied by pianist and composer Hayk Arsenyan. The concert, “Kez het Hayastan” (With You, Armenia!), is dedicated to Armenia. This concert series is supported by a generous grant from the Dadourian Foundation, and it is curated exclusively for the Armenian Museum audience by artistic director Maestro Konstantin Petrossian, who is a composer and conductor.
