Concert and a new composition dedicated to the main clock of Armenia
An online concert by pianist, Honored Artist of RA Hayk Melikyan will mark the 80th anniversary of Armenia’s main clock in Republic Square.   

The project is implemented on the initiative of the National Chamber Music Center with the support of the RA Prime-minister's office, ESCS Ministry and "Sarer" Cultural NGO. The online concert will be broadcast from the clock hall on December 24 at 9 p.m. on the official FB pages of Hayk Melikyan, ESCS Ministry and the Armenian Government. The concert features works by famous Armenian and European composers, which are thematically connected with Yerevan and clock: Haydn, Daquin, Cooper, Handel, Saryan, Babajanyan, Ayvazyan/Kostanyan. 

Within the concert, Hayk Melikyan will present his "Yerevan Campanella" - perhaps the first composition in the world for piano and city clock bells. This piece is written especially for this project.

“There was universal love in this project, all the involved parties worked in an atmosphere of unique gratitude and pride. The main clock of our country is a witness of many generations and changes, the symbol of our statehood,” says Alexander Plato Hakobyan, producer of the project.
