Organized by the schools of art and the Parsegh Ganatchian Music College of Hamazkayin, a performance of classical and folk music took place on December 19, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. at the “K. and H. Armenian” Hall of the Levon Shant Cultural Center in Lebanon. The event featured performances by some teachers of the Music College — including Ashod and Armen Jenderejian brothers, Lucy Tchamsarian, and Arevig Krikorian — as well as a group of students.
