More than 60 participants, Directors of Diplomatic Institutes, Ambassadors and Heads of Department of Ministries of Foreign Affairs from all over the world will discuss the prospects and challenges of digital diplomacy during the two- day event. The program of the conference will cover all aspects of the digitization of diplomacy, from virtual reality and social media over organizational changes in diplomatic services, to best practices in training programs related to e-diplomacy. "Digital diplomacy creates an additional platform for diplo- mats to launch their activity and to be accountable to the pub- lic," Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said in his opening remarks. "Widely using the opportunities opened up by information Addressing the audience, the head of the EU Delegation to technologies, we should take into account the sensitiveness of Armenia, Ambassador Traian Hristea recalled that the "first accessible information and its advisory nature, as well as the objective for the longstanding cooperation between the possible influence of the information we provide and the state- European Union and the Government of the Republic of ments we make on interstate relations and human destinies.

  • © BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE - CD Review to Be Published November 2009 Edition [N.B
    © BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE - CD review To be published November 2009 edition [n.b. This is raw copy, and so may have some minor changes when published] NEHARÓT Works by Olivero, Mansurian, Komitas & Steinberg Kim Kashkashian (viola); with Robyn Schulkowsky (percussion), Tigran Mansurian (piano); Kuss Quartet; Munich Chamber Orchestra/Alexander Liebreich; Boston Modern Orchestra Project/Gil Rose ECM 476 3281 60:10 mins ECM sometimes perversely eschew liner notes, but this disc - showcasing Kim Kashkashian’s virtuosity - includes an illuminating essay on Armenian and Jewish lament by Paul Griffiths. Armenia’s sacred mountain, Ararat, dominates the view from Yerevan, yet it’s in no-go Turkish territory: Mansurian speaks for all his compatriots. He opens with over- strenuous portentousness, but moves towards an ever more intense expressiveness, with the viola singing out over delicately Stravinskian effects. Eitan Steinberg’s ‘Rava Deravin’ translates as ‘favour of favours’, and its version here - for viola plus string quartet - was made at Kashkashian’s suggestion: its gleaming harmonies are sometimes reminiscent of the Japanese sho mouth-organ, and its interplay of textures is exquisite. But the piece de resistance on this CD is Betty Olivero’s powerful and densely-worked ‘Neharot neharot’ (‘rivers, rivers’, denoting, says the composer, women’s tears). Scored for two string ensembles plus accordion and viola solo, this may only last 16 minutes, but it has the resonance of a major work. Opening with dark chords made even darker by internal dissonances, it develops a floridly mellifluous momentum through which viola and accordion cut their path in duet; its denouement is a brilliant rumination, at first veiled, then gradually more explicit, on the lament of Monteverdi’s Orpheus.

    Armenian Orchestral Music Tigran Arakelyan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: David Alexander Rahbee, Chair JoAnn Taricani Timothy Salzman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2016 Tigran Arakelyan University of Washington Abstract Armenian Orchestral Music Tigran Arakelyan Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. David Alexander Rahbee School of Music The goal of this dissertation is to make available all relevant information about orchestral music by Armenian composers—including composers of Armenian descent—as well as the history pertaining to these composers and their works. This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled

  • 2019, a Year to Celebrate Calouste
    2019, a year to celebrate Calouste The Foundation is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, the Armenian-born billionaire to whom we owe our institution. Throughout this year and through a number of initiatives, we will have the opportunity to develop a deeper knowledge of the many facets of one of the twentieth century’s most significant personalities. Calouste Gulbenkian’s remarkable life is striking in its cultural and geographical crossovers. He was born in Istanbul, on the banks of the Bosporus, and died in Lisbon, on the shores of the Tagus River, having also resided in Paris and London. A businessman, art collector and philanthropist in equal measure, he was one of those rare individuals who synthesised the East and West in his activities. The Art Collection he amassed over the course of his life – which is now displayed in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum for the benefit of all – is clearly a testament to his supreme capacity to forge convergences between different perspectives. But Calouste’s principal legacy for humanity is the Foundation that bears his name, where we work each day to fulfil our responsibility to contribute to the development of people and communities in the four statutory areas defined in his will: Art, Science, Education and Charity.
