The program "Let's value the national musical and cultural heritage in Shirak region" is summed up
With the financial support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia, on the initiative of "Tsiranapogh" cultural youth non-governmental organization, the "Let's value the National Musical and Cultural Heritage in Shirak Region" program was summed up. Today, the main bearers of that heritage are the representatives of the older generation.

More than 20 unique samples of Armenian traditional music were registered from 10 communities of Artik-Ani regions of Shirak region (Nor Kyanq, Spandaryan, Dzorakap, Isahakyan, Karaberd, Saratak, Beniamin, Panik, Getap, Mets Mantash) 10 of which were recorded and 7 were arranged. These are pieces of music that have never been heard before, such as new performances of well-known works that have been recorded and the results printed in a booklet. At the end of the program, a concert of folk music was organized by the students of Gyumri State Orchestra of Folk Instruments and "Sheram" ensemble.

The implementation of such programs is aimed at preserving the intangible cultural heritage of different communities of Armenia, raising its awareness, developing respect and appreciation for the preservation of heritage in the communities, as well as passing it on to future generations.
