RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan congratulated the conductor and composer Loris Chgnavoryan on his 85th birthday.
"Dear Maestro,
Please accept my warm congratulations on your 85th birthday.
You are indeed one of the artists of our modern music art, which is known for its activities not only in the homeland but also outside its borders. Your contribution to the development and strengthening of Armenian culture is invaluable.
Your compositions have been performed in different countries: Austria, Great Britain, the USA, Canada, and elsewhere, receiving great reception and high evaluation everywhere.
The art-loving society will never forget you as the author of several charitable initiatives. The most significant of them was, of course, your "Pilgrimage to Gyumri" initiative after the earthquake, the purpose of which was to restore the cultural life in the destroyed Gyumri and to create a Cultural Academy.
Dear maestro, I wish you good health and inexhaustible creative energy," the message says.
