On October 29, the choirs and dance groups of “Hayordats Tun” Armenian School of Moscow performed at the children’s festival of national cultures called “Мой дом Москва” (Moscow is My Home), as reported the information center of “Hayordats Tun” Armenian School to Hayern Aysor.

The goal of the festival is to create conditions for cross-cultural dialogue and spark interest in the cultures and languages of nations residing in Moscow. The festival was launched in September 2016 and will end in May 2017. Throughout these months, each nation will present its culture and arts for one day.

“Hayordats Tun” Armenian School has taken the “large share” of the burden of presenting Armenian culture on its shoulders with the Haiasa and Vardavar Dance Ensembles, the Shogher and Ovsanna Choirs, the Akunk National Instruments Ensemble, Kochnak Ensemble of Dhol Players, Tsirani Ensemble of Dudukists, Zatik Ensemble of Female Canon Players and Armenian poems.

Before the concert, the Armenians and foreigners in the audience viewed the tapestry works and paintings created by the students of “Hayordats Tun” Armenian School, and after the concert, the School hosted a reception to completely present Armenian culture and lifestyle.

Among the guests of the concert dedicated to the Armenian culture days were representatives of various embassies based in Moscow. The School reached preliminary agreements with some of them to hold culture days at their embassies and at “Hayordats Tun” Armenian School.

The guests left the hall, charmed and impressed by Armenian culture. Representative of the “Дети войны“ organization Natalya Melnikova and Vladimir Oganesov stated that they were very impressed with Armenian culture and the performances by the representatives of “Hayordats Tun”. They remembered the Soviet era when there was no discrimination between nations and everyone lived equally and in solidarity.

At the end of the concert, spiritual superintendent of “Hayordats Tun” Armenian School, Fr. Priest Arakel Amiryan, Director Hmayak Gevorgyan and the concerts representative Shushanik Gevorgyan received letters of gratitude for helping provide the students with a Christian education and organize the festival.
