We are delighted to share how your support is transforming lives and empowering young Armenian music talents!
ย
โจ Qanons: Two exceptional qanons, crafted by the renowned Master Apress, are on loan to the Spendiaryan Music School, used in the class of the extraordinary teacher, Nune Danielyan. These instruments carry deep significance, as one is named "Atken" in memory of our foundationโs namesake, and the other "Hagop" in memory of Hagop Kestekian of Toronto, the late father of one of our main donors, Virginia Misakyan. Their names are beautifully carved into the filigree designs on the instruments, making them cherished tributes to enduring legacies.
โจ Pianos: Thanks to your generosity, several pianos are bringing the joy of music education to students in the Vayots Dzor region, where access to high-quality instruments is very limited.
โจ Flutes: Three beautiful flutes have been loaned to the talented students of Narek Avagyan, the principal flutist of the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra, helping them refine their craft and pursue their dreams.
โจ Violins and Bows: Our bank includes dozens of student-grade violins and bows, which are being used in music schools across Armenia, laying the foundation for future virtuosos.
