On April 22 and 23, the final gala concerts of the 2025 scholarship recipients of the “Armenian Virtuosos” Educational and Development Program, implemented by the “Music for Future” Foundation, took place at the Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall.

These two memorable concert evenings became a beautiful and ceremonial culmination of a year filled with dedicated work, creative growth, and musical development. The atmosphere in the concert hall was filled with classical music, emotion, great inspiration, and warm applause. The audience had the opportunity to enjoy performances by young musicians who stood out for both their technical mastery and their musical depth and sincerity.

During the gala concerts, works by some of the greatest composers of classical music were performed, including Chopin, Popper, Tchaikovsky, Fibbs, Petrenko, Johnson, Strauss, Vivaldi, Mangani, Liszt, Ysaÿe, Doppler, Mendelssohn, Weber, Debussy, Taffanel, Eng, Iturralde, Brahms, Wieniawski, Ibert, Arban, Paganini, Rachmaninoff, Rubinstein, Fauré, Rimsky-Korsakov, Scriabin, Jacob, Abrahamyan, and Zakaryan.

Over the course of two days, the program’s 39 scholarship recipients took to the stage with confidence and brilliance, presenting their professional progress and their deep love and dedication to classical music. Each performance reflected the significant creative journey they had undertaken throughout the year, highlighting the knowledge, experience, and artistic growth gained within the program. Their performances once again demonstrated that through consistent work, proper guidance, and high-level professional support, the virtuosos of tomorrow are being shaped—musicians who will proudly represent Armenian culture on international stages.
