The “Arts Gallery” cultural fund, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia, presents the “National Gallery”10th International Musical Festival that will last from May 7 through June 3. The general partner of the festival is VivaCell-MTS.
 
«The power of art – of music and of painting - rules in this hall. The attraction of the already formed festival is confined in this as well. For already ten years fans of classical music have the opportunity to enjoy the masterpieces of composing and performing arts, newly discovering the treasures presented in the Gallery. VivaCell-MTS is proud to be the general partner of this festival. It is a significant event in the cultural life of Armenia», commented VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
 
The grand opening concert of the 10th festival took place in the Fresco Hall of the National Gallery of Armenia. Musical compositions by Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Rossini were performed. The program of the concert was presented by the State Chamber Orchestra of Armenia (artistic director and general conductor Vahan Martirosyan) conducted by Harutyun Arzumanyan, and with participation of soloist Varduhi Khachatryan, mezzo-soprano (Switzerland).
 
The festival was founded in 2005. Each spring it presents the Armenian audience the masterpieces of classical music performed by famous Armenian and foreign musicians. 
 
The already traditional festival has become continual owing to the leading telecommunications operator of Armenia, which committed itself to the mission of supporting the initiative since 2006.
 
Starting from 2008 the festival was included in the state support program of cultural events of the Republic of Armenia.
