The anniversary concert of “Paros” Chamber Choir took place in Yerevan
The anniversary concert of the internationally acclaimed award-winning “Paros” Chamber Choir took place. This unique choir is inclusive: many of the singers are wheelchair users or have various disabilities. The choir which went through a remarkable journey was founded thirty years ago to offer psychological rehabilitation to individuals in wheelchairs.
Today, “Paros” (affiliated with “Unison” NGO) is well-known in the country. For three decades, it has delivered exceptional performances on stages both in Armenia and abroad (Lebanon, Georgia, Great Britain, Italy, Vatican, France, Austria, Slovakia, Latvia, Russia), demonstrating professionalism and determination to overcome challenges through music. Paros sends a message to individuals with disabilities to lead full and creative lives by its example: art has the power not only to express itself but also to help to live.
The jubilee concert of “Paros” was supported by the RA Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, as well as Yerevan Municipality. The group performed works by Komitas, M. Yekmalyan, H. Odabashyan, G. Orban, and others, and the finale of K. Aprikyan's oratorio “The Birth of David of Sassoon”. The symphony orchestra of the opera, the “Geghard” singing group, the choir of the music school named after A. Tigranyan, “Arevayin Zangakner”, the Artsakh State Choir, and the Artsakh “Mrakats” State Chamber Choir took part in the concert.
The jubilee concert of “Paros” was organized to support our compatriots with disabilities who were forcibly displaced from Artsakh. Viva-MTS is the official partner of the choir.
