Chamber Choir Was Founded in 1992
“HOVER” CHAMBER CHOIR Sona Hovhannisyan Artistic director and conductor “HOVER” (ՀՈՎԵՐ) chamber choir was founded in 1992. The choir was established on personal initiative without any sponsorship support. Right from its first appearances the choir presented an original type of Armenian choral music, open to any style and genre, closely connected with the art of European choral music. The choir gives principle importance to experiment and innovation and to the synthesis of various arts even while performing most traditional academic pieces. In 1996 “Hover” premiered Benjamin Britten's “Canticum Komitas Misericordium” with the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra (1869 - 1935) (conductor K. Durgaryan). In 1996 “Hover” issued its first CD - Ludwig Basil’s sacred choral songs. In 1997 the release of the CD was followed by participation of the choir in the International choral competition-festival in Arezzo (Italy) and a concert on the island of St. Lasarus, Venice. In 1996-1997 “Hover” premiered “St. John Passion” and “St. Matthew Passion” oratorios by J.S. Bach in full volume (conductor Z. Vardanyan). In 1999 “Hover” participated in the choral competition-festival in Tours (France) becoming twice laureate of international competitions. During these years in its concerts “Hover” performed masterpieces of Purcell, Schütz, Brahms, Honegger, Poulenc, Hindemith, Britten, Stravinsky, Messiaen and other Western-European composers as well as a number of newly composed choral works by contemporary Armenian composers (A. Ghazaryan, V. Manukyan, A. Voskanyan) and works of the founders of Armenian choral art - Komitas and Yekmalyan. During these years “Hover” presented its first staging of “Dance songs” by Komitas. In the winter of 1999 “Hover” held a concert-performance under the name of “Christmas Carols” in combination with shadow play in the experimental theater “Being” (ԳՈՅ) (director A.

ARMENIAN VOICES A warm breeze from the Caucasus ARMENIAN VOICES is an A Capella group who derive their heritage from the internationally acclaimed, award-winning Hover Chamber Choir of Armenia. The seven member group, all members of the larger Hover Choir, are led by their artistic director and conductor, Sona Hovhanisyan, who studied at the Komitas National Conservatory and founded the choir in 1992. Both ancient and new music from the Armenian nation has been a very well-kept secret which Armenian Voices explores, inviting the listener to share in the wealth of treasure it beholds. ……the tale began over twenty years ago, and continues to evolve...... this youthful, musically progressive Chamber choir are mainly graduates of the Komitas National Conservatory in Yerevan, Armenia. They are a musical ambassador for Armenia and Armenian music. In May 2010, Valery Gergiev invited Hover to participate in four concerts at the IX Moscow Easter Festival; in October they were chosen to perform in the Polyfollia Choral Festival, France - a world showcase for choirs and choral ensembles, encouraging choirs of excellence who focus on musical creativity and stage presence. The year closed with a magical evening at Eglise St-Eustache, Paris performing with superlative Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu - combining sacred Armenian voices with subtle Indian Percussion. In 2009, two productions were staged: The first, The Parallel by composer, Anna Azizyan took two years of dedication with the mission to extend the borders of the choral music genre. The performance is an assemble of texts - L'Oiseau Bleu by Maurice Maeterlinck, Through the Looking- Glass by Lewis Carroll, Odyssey by Homer, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.

Regatul Romaniei
RegatulRomaniei file:///C:/Programele%20Mele/IstorieRomania1/RegatulRomaniei/Regat... Regatul României Visul unirii tuturor românilor sub un singur steag a frământat mințile conducătorilor încă din cele mai vechi timpuri, dar alianțele militare și interesele de ordin comercial nu au fost în favoarea simplificării relațiilor dintre diferitele formațiuni statale. În vechime, țările românești au negociat protecția celor două mari imperii ale romanilor, apoi începând cu secolul al XIII-lea au întreținut legături de prietenie și ajutor mutual cu Polonia și Lituania. Din secolul al XV-lea, ca state vasale Imperiului Otoman dar sub protecția directă a Hanatului Crimeei, s-a pus problema formării unui eyalat turcesc comun. Proiectul a fost însă refuzat cu dârzenie, ca urmare a divergențelor de ordin religios. Ca o soluție de compromis, sultanii au permis independența religioasă a celor trei principate, în schimbul dependenței economice. Situația de criză a intervenit o dată cu revoluția și apoi războiul de independență purtat de greci și sârbi. Sub aripa ocrotitoare a Bisericii Ortodoxe Răsăritene, creștinii din toate țările Balcanice au ridicat la început glasul, apoi armele, cerând vehement ieșirea din situația de compromis religios. Ca rezultat, boierii și dragomanii greci au fost maziliți, iar mănăstirile filiale ale celor de la Muntele Athos au fost secularizate. În urma grecilor au rămas nenumăratele lor rude născute din alianțe cu casele boierești autohtone, practic aproape toată crema boierimii. Pentru a umple vidul administrativ rămas s-a hotărât instituirea unei locotenențe domnești, ajutată de o Adunare Constituantă a fruntașilor celor două țări. În ambele principate, toate sufragiile au fost întrunite în anul 1859 de Colonelul Alexandru Ioan Cuza, cu funcția de Ministru de Război, fost deputat de Galați și fost șef al Miliției de la Dunărea de Jos.

Collector Coins of the Republic of Armenia 2020”
CENTRAL BANK OF ARMENIA OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA YEREVAN2021 Martin Galstyan Governor Central Bank of Armenia Dear reader, We are pleased to present the annual journal “Collector Coins of the Republic of Armenia 2020”. In 2020, as had become customary, the Central Bank of Armenia issued a number of collector coins to celebrate anniversaries of famous individuals: the 100th birth anniversaries of world-renowned French-Armenians Henri Verneuil (a filmmaker) and Jansem (painter), the 125th birth anniversary of the famous Armenian actor Hrachya Nersisyan and the 150th birth anniversary of the talented painter Yeghishe Tadevosyan. Each of these great individuals hold a special place in the history of both Armenian and the world culture thanks to their success and accomplishments in the field of cinema, theater and painting. Another important anniversary we celebrated in 2020 was the 150 years of birth of Gevorg Chavush, a hero of the Armenian national liberation movement. On this occasion, the Central Bank of Armenia issued the “Gevorg Chavush-150” 2 CENTRAL BANK OF ARMENIA collector coin, adding to the series of collector coins dedicated to Armenian commanders from different periods in history. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of victory over the Nazi Germany and its allies in the Great Patriotic War was a remarkable event for the people of the former USSR. The Central Bank of Armenia was among central banks of the former Soviet countries to have issued the collector coin dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the victory, thus once again highlighting the role of the sons of Armenia, who heroically fought against the enemy and contributed greatly to the victory.
