Speaking about the Armenian audience, Buniatishvili also said that she was very surprised by them, because being an emotional nation, they listened to the concert in silence: “It means they are very attentive. Armenia is a country very close to my heart as it is neighbor of my fatherland,”- concluded the pianist.
At the end of the performance, she played "Shushiki" by Komitas (from “Seven Dances").Khatia Buniatishvili's concert in Armenia became a reality with the joint efforts of ANPO and “Avetis” Swiss-Armenian Association.
