YEREVAN, ARMENIA—On June 29, the Paros Chamber Choir
held a concert dedicated to “Summer Songs” at the
Gomidas Chamber Music Hall. More than 250 people filled the
concert hall to listen to this amazing group of performers.
“It was a special honor for us this evening to perform
for our Diasporas friends,” said Armen Alaverdyan, Musical

honored that the Georgian Ambassador to Armenia, H.E. Ambassador
Revaz Gachechiladz, joined us for the concert and reception.”
“I was so pleased to join you this evening to witness
the delightful performance of the Paros Chamber Choir,”
said Ambassador Gachechiladz. “It was most enjoyable
and inspirational event.”
Since 1993, the Paros Chamber Choir has dazzled audiences
throughout Armenia, the Middle East and Europe with their
repertoire of classic chamber music and ethnic folk music
by distinguished Armenian, Russian and Western composers.
The Paros Chamber Choir has blossomed into a beacon of opportunity
and inspiration for people with disabilities in Armenia as
most members of the Choir are individuals with spinal cord
injuries.
The Paros Chamber Choir takes its name from the Armenian word
for lighthouse. Indeed the choir is seen as a symbol of hope
by fans around the world. The Choir entertains worldwide audiences,
participates in international competitions and encourages
people with disabilities to live full and active lives.
The Paros Foundation, a California-based foundation sponsored
and organized the successful Concert.
“Two of the goals of the Foundation are to promote and
nurture Armenia’s culture and to help improve the quality
of lives of people with disabilities in Armenia,” said
Peter Abajian, Executive Director of the Paros Foundation.
“The Paros Chamber Choir is a bright star within Armenia
and we hope to help them deliver their message to the world.”
