YEREVAN, JULY 13, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Little Singers choir -
whose repertoire includes classical songs, modern music, jazz and
bossa nova - are performing in Japan for the first time.
The singers - 40 girls aged 11 to 18 - are all students of music
schools in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, the mountainous landlocked
nation that sits along the old Great Silk Road and between the Black
Sea and Caspian Sea.
The group was originally established by Tigran Hekekyan, Professor of
Choral Conducting at Komitas State Conservatory in Armenia, in 1992,
and it has since won many awards at international chorus competitions,
says Min-On Concert Association, the choir's Japan tour organizer. It
also tours Europe and the United States every year.
Armenpress reports calling the Japan Times that for this extended tour
in Japan - which includes 16 venues, some of which have already sold
out - the girls will sing several hymns such as "Ave Verum Corpus,"
as well as a George Gershwin medley, "The Girl from Ipanema,"
"In the Mood" and other popular songs.
