All proceeds of the charity concert will be donated to Armenak Urfanyan Fund, who heroically died in the Four-Day Artsakh War in April 2016, destroying a tank and more than10 enemy soldiers.
The concert will take place on February 20 at Aram Khachaturian concert hall and will feature works by Armen Tigranyan, Avet Terteryan, Ghazaros Saryan, Edgar Hovhannisyan, Arno Babajanyan, etc.
The aartistic director and principal conductor of the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra Sergey Smbatyan will conduct the concert.
To note, the Fund named after Armenak Urfanyan was earlier launched by his mother in memory of all fallen heroes of the April war.
