Armenian Genocide Memorial Orchestra

The Armenian Genocide Memorial Orchestra is a musical ensemble created to honor the victims and raise awareness about the Armenian Genocide, which occurred during World War I when over a million Armenians were systematically killed by the Ottoman Empire. Through performances, the orchestra aims to preserve Armenian culture, promote healing, and foster dialogue about human rights. Their concerts often feature traditional Armenian music alongside classical pieces, creating a profound cultural experience that commemorates history while advocating for remembrance and justice. This initiative underscores the importance of recognizing past atrocities to prevent future ones.
