The story

Armenia International Music Festival in Yerevan

A three-week autumn classical music festival in Yerevan established in 2017 by conductor Sergey Smbatyan and Konstantin Ishkhanov, featuring the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra and internationally acclaimed conductors performing Armenian and European repertoire. Its three-week autumn run gives Yerevan sustained access to internationally acclaimed classical performance each year.

The Armenia International Music Festival has become one of the signature events in Armenian cultural life since its establishment in 2017, founded at the joint initiative of Sergey Smbatyan, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra, and Konstantin Ishkhanov, President of the European Foundation for Support of Culture.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Running for a full three weeks each autumn rather than a single concentrated event, and explicitly framing classical music as a bridge-building tool between nations, the Armenia International Music Festival has grown since 2017 into one of Yerevan's two flagship classical institutions alongside Yerevan Perspectives, each maintaining its own distinct organizational identity

02

The mystery stays covered

That extended three-week format, considerably longer than most single-weekend classical festivals held elsewhere, gives Yerevan audiences genuinely sustained access to world-class orchestral performance across a full autumn season rather than a single concentrated cultural moment
