Compositions by Armenian and Western European composers written for the female choir were presented. During the 2nd part of the concert the whole choir performed for the audience.
The Artistic Director and Conductor of the “Hover” Sona Hovhannisyan noted that Narine Voskanyan is one of her best students and stands on the basis of the choir.
