Amaras Art Alliance is proud to present our musically talented children in a venue most befitting the event- the Pickman Concert Hall at Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
“Children love to perform. You can see this in their eyes” said program co-hosts Maral Der Torosian and pianist Marine Margarian “and we love the opportunity to present them to our music loving audience.”
Beyond giving children a stage to perform on and an opportunity to meet other talented people of their age, this program aims to recognize our dedicated music teachers and introduce them to new parents.
“The proceeds of this and similar concerts” said Arax Badalian, President of Amaras “help us provide scholarships to musically gifted children- here and in Armenia.” The scholarship fund is set up in the name of Hovhaness Badalian, the legendary Armenian singer who passed away in 2001.
To participate in the program children audition in front of a jury made up of musicians and are expected to present two pieces of work at the concert. Youngsters of Armenian descent can select any work they like to present; children who are not of Armenian descent must have at least one piece written by an Armenian composer. 18 instrumentalists and vocalists ages 8 to 18 are participating in the June 8 program at Longy.
