TWENTY YEARS LATER


With the Referendum on September 21, 1991, we uttered our “yes” to independence. Independence is an absolute value, means of preserving our national identity.

Sona Hovhannisyan


The life and profession of Sona Hovhannisyan, Artistic Director of Hover Chamber Choir, is one piece of painting, which she alone tries to make whole. ''I have no religious educational background, which means I was robbed of the world music, painting, history of art, which topics are wholly and entirely based on the spiritual heritage'', says the musician. "So much is missing in our lives because of that lack of education, but nonetheless, we should not get frustrated, but rather try to recover our losses and be content with the life with the joy of a founder".
