Because I hope to be starting some work for Yeraz Art next month I’ve added an appropiate category to this blog. I’ve posted about Yeraz Art before, and the photo above has been used in their publicity material albeit without credit.

YerazArt is a U.S based organization with a mission to discover, nurture and promote the Armenian musical talent of tomorrow. We believe Art is one of the best means to perpetuate our heritage and culture and thus it is as vitally important as ever to support Armenia’s new generation of creative and performing artists. Through YerazArt we want provide to our talented young generation the promise of the future and the opportunity to expose their talents throughout the globe.

I saw their Country Director at his office in the Chamber Music Hall yesterday and interestingly, I’ve interviewed Arman Padaryan before. Not only does he represent several classical musicians and conductors, he also manages local rock band MDP.

That interview is here.
