Personal Statement: including hobbies, interests, family, etc.: I love my family and devote my spare time to my grandson. I like Armenian cuisine (meals), I like my profession and work, and I like driving a car.

In 1961, I graduated from Secondary School after Kh. Abovyan in Yerevan. In 1958-1963, I studied and graduated from the Brass class of musical school after Sayat-Nova in Yerevan.

In 1963-1966, I completed Military Service in the Soviet Army.

From 1966-1968, I studied and graduated from Musical College after Romanos Melikyan in Yerevan (Brass faculty). In 1968-1973, I studied and graduated from Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory (Brass faculty, class of professor Tulakyan).

Simultaneously with the study in Conservatory (and afterwards, 13 years in total), I was singing in the Chorus after Aram Ter-Hovhannisyan. During those years, the high artistic style of the Chorus’ head Tatul Altunyan and Conductor Grigor Sandalchyan, significantly contributed to my professionalism.

The years of 1973-1993 were dedicated to working with several amateur choirs, including the choir of: Medical College #2 in Yerevan, women choir of Institute of “ArmStateLandProject”, the amateur choir of “Sirius” factory, and the children choir of Secondary School #7 in Abovyan. Those choirs took part in a number of competition-festivals, deserving prizes and diplomas. I myself was twice designated as the best conductor of the year.

Since 1993, I have directed the Paros Chamber Choir and the Children-Youth “Tatev” Choir, both winners of international competitions.

During the 12 years of its activities, Paros Chamber Choir has participated in a number of republican and international competitions. Some of these competitions included festivals organized by Musical Union of Armenia, in which the Paros Chamber Choir has been awarded 1st prize.
