"AND THIS IS ME"- Sos Vardanyan

My instrument has taught me to find balance.

Music, to me, is everything.

When I’m alone, I start playing or listening to music.

When I play, I truly live.

I believe that nothing is impossible if you keep working and never give up.

When I’m on stage, I feel at home.

I feel happy when my performances bring happiness to others.

Few people know this, but I’m persistent. Being Armenian is the greatest honor for me.

What matters most in life is family.

I’m inspired when I hear about the journeys of renowned musicians.

I get emotional when I encounter injustice.

Being a musician means feeling what others don’t.

I’ve realized that I didn’t work hard enough in the past, and now I’m doing everything I can to make up for lost time.

My mother gives me strength through her dedication and constant encouragement to move forward.

I’m proud when I’m introduced as a scholarship recipient of the Armenian Virtuosos program and when my family is proud of me.

In three words, I’m persistent, hardworking, and determined.

I’m happy when I achieve success.

In 10 years, I see myself as a renowned musician who has come a long way, performed and toured in different countries, won awards in both solo and orchestral competitions, and gained extensive experience.

What I love most about Yerevan is its musical atmosphere.

I dream of becoming a renowned musician who achieves great things. My motto is: Never give up where others do, and achieve victory where it seems impossible.
