Lusine Arakelyan at her concert on June 1, 2014 in the Church of the Redeemer in Berlin.
At the opening ceremony of the Gyumri music school, we had the opportunity to meet Lusine Arakelyan and hear her sing. She performed several arias during the concert at that festive event. We were struck by her powerful voice and animated musical delivery. Although she was already a trained singer who had received her diploma and been awarded several prizes and had been active as a soloist at the Ghazaros Sarayan Opera studio at the state conservatory in Yerevan since 2008 --, she wanted very much to continue her musical education in Germany.
In Spring 2014 she contacted us with the news that she had received several invitations for auditions and performances in Germany and Austria, and hoped to find some financial support. We made arrangements to cover her travel costs from Yerevan to Berlin and return.
On June 1, 2014 we attended a concert by Lusine Arakelyan in the Church of the Redeemer in Berlin, held in commemoration of the Armenian national holiday (May 28). She successfully concluded her German tour and plans to return for further auditions in the near future. Following her visit, she received an invitation from Poland to go on tour there in the autumn with Polish musicians.
