“Being a singer is a responsibility and a gift from above.” Adam Barro and friends will perform with a concert program, “Dreams”.

French-based opera singer Adam Barro (Murad Amirkhanyan) is returning to Armenia with another unique concert evening. On April 6, the Komitas Chamber Music Hall will host the “Dreams” concert dedicated to the 105th anniversary of Arno Babajanyan.

During the evening, Galina Tsolakyan, Aramo Mamikonyan, Suzanna Bare, Marianna Hayrapetyan, the Skena Choir, and Victoria and Liana Ulikhanyan will perform.

According to Barro, he tries to mark every visit to Armenia from Paris with a memorable concert. “This year, I decided to organize two important events: one in Armenia, the other in Paris. A beautiful program is expected, I wanted the “Dreams” concert to be presented in an academic version and not too pop, naturally focusing on high-class artists,” notes Barro. And on October 3, the singer has initiated an evening dedicated to the 100th anniversary of John Ter-Tadevosyan at the Cortot Concert Hall in Paris, where well-known artists of our time will perform.

After a 30-year hiatus, Johannes Brahms’s German Requiem will once again be performed in Yerevan.

On April 20 at 7:00 PM, at the Komitas Chamber Music Hall, the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia and the Hover State Chamber Choir, under the baton of conductor Yaroslav Bychkov, will present Johannes Brahms’ celebrated work A German Requiem.

The Yerevan audience will have a rare opportunity to experience one of the pinnacles of 19th-century sacred choral music. Composed between 1865 and 1868, and deeply influenced by the deaths of the composer’s mother and his close friend and mentor Robert Schumann, A German Requiem is considered one of Brahms’ most profound and humanistic works. The complete version, in seven movements, was first performed in Leipzig in 1869.

A distinctive feature of the work is that, unlike traditional Requiems, it is set not to the Latin Mass, but to selected texts from Martin Luther’s German Bible. This large-scale composition (approximately 65–80 minutes) reflects Brahms’ deep meditation on the transience of life, grief, and solace. The composer himself remarked that he would gladly have replaced the word “German” with “Human,” emphasizing the universal message of the work.
