The event took place on New Year's Eve, December 20, 2017. The unprecedented presence of 70 people gave pleasure to organizers.
The program began with Arto Tavitian's reading. He presented the pieces New Year in Old Armenia and Artamet Apples, after which Harout Tahmazian told anecdotes about women.
Then Nara Sardaryan spoke about the life and work of the Armenian song-writer Arthur Grigorian. She also presented some pieces from his creations and interviews.
The evening was closed with the day’s surprise prepared by Nara Sardaryan. It was the performance of a band accompanied by a group of singers. They performed modern Armenian songs dedicated to the New Year, and received warm applause from the audience.
