When your mother decides to send you on a date... something you could never have imagined begins.

Two middle-aged people who have long since stopped believing in "accidental happiness." The man is a successful but lonely businessman. The woman is a wounded and cautious woman who is tired of disappointments. And this is where it all begins - a maternal initiative that turns into a chain of unexpected events.

"Failed Date" is a mixture of comic situations, sincere feelings and small human dramas, a reminder that sometimes the most sincere love begins in the craziest moment.

On June 16 at 7:30 PM, the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia will present the exceptional “Jazzical Komitas” concert project at the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall, blending the depth of Armenian sacred and national music with the free expressiveness of jazz innovation.

Artistic Director & Principal Conductor: Vag Papian․ 

Soloist: New York-based pianist and composer Joel Martin.

The concert will be conducted by British-Armenian conductor and tenor Sipan Olah.

For the first time, Yerevan audiences will have the opportunity to experience live performances of Joel Martin’s “Jazzical Komitas” arrangements, presented together with the State Chamber Orchestra of Armenia.

The National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia presents an exceptional international project — “Jazzical Komitas”, a bold reimagining of Komitas’ musical legacy through the lens of jazz and contemporary classical expression.

Internationally acclaimed pianist and composer Joel Martin (New York) is known for his electrifying synthesis of classical virtuosity and jazz improvisation. His artistic collaborations span global icons such as Alan Menken, Fergie, Stevie Wonder, and opera legend Kathleen Battle. With a performance style that is both technically refined and emotionally expansive, Martin brings a distinctive voice to the modern piano stage.

Although not Armenian by heritage, Joel Martin’s connection to Komitas’ music spans over six years of deep artistic engagement. He describes himself as an “Armenian by choice,” having moved audiences across Yerevan, Los Angeles, and New York with his emotionally charged interpretations of Komitas’ works. His ongoing project has already produced two albums, with a third scheduled for release, as part of a creative journey aiming toward a Grammy nomination.

Joining him is British-Armenian conductor and tenor Sipan Olah (London), whose collaboration with Martin adds a distinctive transnational dimension to the project.

This concert is part of the “Jazzical Komitas” world tour (2026–2028), which will span 20 international cities. The first collaboration between Joel Martin, Sipan Olah, and the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia took place in New York on October 4, 2025, followed by upcoming performances in Yerevan and London.

For the first time in Armenia, a large-scale ice spectacle “Bring Back the Music” comes to life on ice in a breathtaking theatrical format, celebrating and promoting the country’s cultural heritage.

This unique production unites Armenia’s finest figure skaters, including stars Karina Akopova and Nikita Rakhmanin, in a powerful performance that blends figure skating, classical and contemporary ballet, and operatic art into one extraordinary experience.

Inspired by the legacy of great Armenian composers, the show becomes a living tribute to timeless music that connects generations and resonates across cultures.

The program features works by legendary Armenian composers — Komitas, Khachaturian, Spendiarov, Chukhajyan, Saryan, Tariverdiev, Charles Aznavour, Babajanyan, and others — transporting the audience into a true theatrical performance on ice while honoring the creators of music known and loved around the world.

A unique synthesis of Eastern spirituality, rich folklore, and European classical tradition comes alive through a stunning combination of figure skating, ballet, opera, aesthetic gymnastics, live performance, and cutting-edge multimedia installations.

Spectacular group performances, emotional solo and pair routines, and dozens of powerful acts reveal the depth, spirit, and inner world of the Armenian people — creating an unforgettable emotional journey for every viewer.

The cast is composed of young, charismatic professional skaters selected not only for their technical excellence but also for their ability to convey emotion and meaning through every performance. This approach allows the audience to focus on the essence of the show — its story, emotion, and artistic expression — rather than on individual star power.

This concept reflects the creative philosophy of world-renowned productions such as Cirque du Soleil’s ice show “Crystal.”

A one-of-a-kind ice show with no equivalents — a cultural experience not to be missed.

A spectacular show for the whole family

Впервые в Армении состоится масштабное ледовое шоу «Верни мне музыку», направленное на развитие и популяризацию культурного наследия. Это впечатляющее театральное представление на льду объединяет в одном пространстве различные виды искусства.

Шоу объединяет лучших представителей фигурного катания Армении, а также на лёд выйдут наши герои — Карина Акопова и Никита Рахманин. Постановка продолжает традиции армянского сценического искусства, соединяя фигурное катание, классический и современный балет и оперное искусство в едином художественном пространстве.

Вдохновлённое наследием великих армянских композиторов, шоу становится живым посвящением вечной музыке, объединяющей поколения.

В программе прозвучат произведения легендарных армянских композиторов — Комитаса, Хачатуряна, Спендиарова, Чухаджяна, Саряна, Таривердиева, Шарля Азнавура, Бабаджаняна и других — перенося зрителя в настоящий спектакль на льду и отдавая дань создателям музыки, известной во всём мире.

Армянская музыкальная школа подарила миру уникальный синтез восточной духовности, фольклора и европейской классики. Глубокие духовные традиции и богатое джазовое наследие продолжают обогащать мировую культуру, находя отражение в этом шоу через сочетание фигурного катания, балета, оперы, эстетической гимнастики, живого исполнения и современных мультимедийных инсталляций.

Великолепный состав фигуристов и десятки номеров — от масштабных групповых выходов до проникновенных сольных и парных выступлений — раскрывают внутренний мир, эмоции и переживания армянского народа, заставляя сердца зрителей биться быстрее.

Состав артистов сформирован из молодых, харизматичных профессиональных фигуристов, способных каждым выступлением доказывать силу своего духа и таланта. Такой подход позволяет сосредоточить внимание зрителя на содержании шоу — его идее, эмоции и художественной ценности, а не на «звёздности» участников.

Подобная концепция успешно реализуется в проектах всемирно известного Cirque du Soleil, включая ледовое шоу «Crystal».

Уникальное ледовое шоу, не имеющее аналогов — культурное событие, которое нельзя пропустить.

Шоу для всей семьи

Возрастное ограничение: без ограничений (дети до 2 лет — бесплатно)
