    His Holiness Aram I receives archive photos of the Bird's Nest from
    London-based Composer and Conductor, Vartan Melkonian

    Antelias - On Monday 2 December 2013, Vartan Melkonian visited His Holiness
    Aram I and handed over 100 pictures from the archives of the early years of
    the Bird's Nest. The pictures were a gift from the K.M.A. Danish
    Missionaries who established the Bird's Nest to house the orphans they had
    brought from Turkey.

    Vartan Melkonian and his siblings were admitted to the Bird's Nest in the
    1950's after the death of their mother. In the 1970's during the war in
    Lebanon he left for the United Kingdom and studied music in London.
    Currently, he plays his compositions and conducts orchestras around the
    world. He has conducted both the London and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras in
    London. Melkonian, who is the founder of the Melkonian Foundation that
    assists unfortunate children irrespective of religion and race, has always
    been a strong supporter of his second home and first school.
