Overview

To mark the centenary of the Armenian Genocide, the deliberate campaign of mass murder perpetrated by Ottoman forces during the First World War, a group of world-renowned artists offer a programme of works chiefly by Armenian composers.

Devised by Alexander Chaushian, this concert celebrates the fact that, despite the genocide of 1915, Armenians and their musical culture survived and continue to flourish today.
