Annual Festivals

The Khachaturian International Festival is one of the very few widely celebrated classical music festivals in the region, with its reputation and geography of participants increasingly extending well beyond Armenia.

The “Armenia” International Music Festival was established in 2017 at the initiative of Sergey Smbatyan, the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra and Konstantin Ishkhanov, the President of the European Foundation for Support of Culture.

The Penderecki Contemporary Classics' Festival is the next renamed edition of the “Contemporary Classics” Composers' Festival, established in 2019 by the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra and supported by the European Foundation for Support of Culture.
