It should be noted that multi-content projects were implemented within the 90th jubilee of the Union of Composers of Armenia. The series started with the "12 Sounds" educational project of the CMA "Youth Forum," within the framework of which the creative achievements of young Armenian composers were presented in more than a dozen music and art schools in Yerevan. Learners got acquainted with the features of new compositional technologies.

The annual competition of young composers named after Edward Mirzoyan was held with the support of the RA Ministry of Education and Culture, which has been held for the 9th year in a row. About 15 young composers from Armenia and the Diaspora presented their works at the Union of Composers.

A festival dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Union was held with the support of the RA Ministry of Education and Culture. About 45 works, including symphonic, choral, and chamber, were presented to the music-loving public. The solemn opening ceremony of the festival was held in the renovated concert hall of the Union, and the exhibition of archival materials of the Union was opened in the foyer. The ceremony was attended by RA MESCS Minister Vahram Dumanyan and Deputy Minister Ara Khzmalyan. The leading music collectives and soloists of Armenia were included in this festival, which is unique. The regional orchestra took part in a large-scale project for the first time. During seven concerts, 25 premieres took place.

One of the integral events of the anniversary year was the exhibition organized in the Yerevan Metro with the support of the Ministry and the cooperation of the National Archives of Armenia and the Metro. This exhibition's archive materials, exclusive photographs, and documents of the Union were presented for the first time. During the complete jubilee program, the final stage of the string orchestra composition competition announced at the beginning of the year was held at the Komitas House of Chamber Music. The Armenian State Chamber Orchestra performed the works.

One of the most important events during the year was the concert tour supported by the "Galust Külpenkean" Foundation to the border villages of Tavush, Syunik marzes, and Artsakh. The delegation of Armenian composers performed more than a dozen concerts in the border villages, promoting access to art in those settlements.
