"Voices of Artsakh" on tour in Germany
On October 30 and 31, the cities of Hanau and Göppingen in Germany hosted " Voices of Artsakh" music band's concert.

The tour was organized by NKR Representation in France and Germany jointly with Armenian community of Giessen and Baden-Württemberg, and sponsored by Moscow-residing benefactor of Artsakh heritage Eduarg Gulyan and Armavia Airway Company.

"This is an important event. We've kept hearing about Karabakh in political context, thinking of it as a conflict zone only. The concert gave us a great idea of Artsakh culture, complete with national songs and dances," Deputy Head of Armenian Diocese in Germany, Archimandrite Serovbe Isakhanian told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"Voices of Artsakh" music band was founded on the initiative of song and piano professor Lira Kocharyan in 2003. The band of 25 singers, actors and musicians feature the diversity of Artsakh's national music.
