The Naregatsi Orchestra was launched in August 2008 under the auspices of the Naregatsi Art Institute and its Founder–President Nareg Hartounian and the generous support of some benefactors and art lovers. The Orchestra was founded on the basis of tar and kamancha free classes organized back in 2005. The Orchestra is founded with a vision to promote the love and interest of younger generations towards the riches of Armenian traditional music and musical instruments, thus breathing a new spirit into the preservation and development of our national culture.
