    Musical Support for Salzburg International Medical Seminars

    Yerevan, May 29th, 2009


    FARFAA-Salzburg Group together with the Yerevan State Medical
    University and Youth Orchestra of Armenia ( conductor Sergey
    Smbatyan) has organized a benefit concert for Salzburg International
    Medical Seminars, Open Medial Institute Program , and its seminar
    center - Schloss Arenberg , which was damaged in a filre recently. The
    concert took place on May 29th , at the Main Conference Hall of the
    YSMU.

    The AAF/Salzburg Medical Seminars director Prof.W.Aulitzky arrived from
    Vienna to join the benefit event.

    The American Austrian Foundation's Salzburg Medical Seminars program
    participated over 10,000 physicians from countries in transition s,
    over 450 physicians from Armenia. Over 1000 faculty members from the
    leading USA medical institutions as NewYork Presbyterian Hospital, the
    Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
    Center and others, have trained these physicians the newest advances
    in all the medical specialities.

    Schloss Arenberg is a conference center, where the Seminars take place
    During the summer months the Schloss is home to cultural programs linked
    to the Salzburg Music Festival and the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra.

    On April 20th, 2009 a fire broke out on the roof of Schloss Arenberg,
    where two welders had been doing some repairs. Fire fighters arrived
    within minutes, but had difficulty accessing the burning wooden beams
    under the copper roof. The fire was finally extinguished only in 12
    hours . 180 Firefighters used 3,000 liters of water per minute to try
    and put out the blaze, which coupled with the smoke damage totally
    destroyed the building. Fortunately no one was seriously injured.

    FARFAA-Salzburg Group with the alumni of Schloss Arenberg, YSMU and
    Youth Orchestra of Armenia. extended their helping hands to the
    Schloss Arenberg Center to support its rebuilding. Prof Aulitzky
    announced that the Armenian Lounge will be opened in Schloss Arenberg
    after its reconstruction.

    The Youth Orchestra of Armenia was founded in November 2005, with the
    efforts of the students of the Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory.
    Despite its recent formation, the Youth Orchestra of Armenia had already
    the occasion to present Armenia with honour all over the world. Sergey
    Smbatyan, violinist and prize-winner in international competitions, is
    the chief coductor and artistic director of the orchestra.

    W.A. Mozart, Komitas-Aslamazyan and E.Mirzoyan pieces were performed
    with high level of artistry and sophistication, and twelve year old
    piano soloist Anahit Arushanyan amazed the audience. YSMU has
    sponsored the Youth Orchestra for performing the concert.

    Open Medical Institute (OMI) is a program of the American Austrian
    Foundation (AAF) whose main goal is to educate physicians and health
    care providers from countries in transition and foster their
    professional growth (www.aaf-online.org)
