Our city carries its own color, its own mood and warmth — a distinct rhythm, even a character of its own. And today, with confidence and pride, we can say that our city has found its voice — youthful, yet assured; rooted in classical tradition, yet open to the present.
That voice has a name: the Yerevan Youth Orchestra.
For us, this initiative is far more than a musical project. It is a meaningful investment in education, in culture, and in the development of young people. It is a space that shapes not only skilled musicians, but thoughtful, responsible, and creative individuals.
The orchestra creates a vital bridge between the educational system and the professional world of music, opening equal opportunities for all who choose this path. At the same time, it becomes a source of inspiration — for young talents and for the families who support them.
Today, the orchestra performs on Armenia’s leading stages and is steadily finding its place on respected international platforms. It stands as a clear reflection of what becomes possible when a city believes in its youth and invests in their growth — results that are both tangible and commendable.
I am confident that the Yerevan Youth Orchestra will grow into one of the defining cultural symbols of our city, presenting Yerevan to the world not only as a place rich in history, but as a city shaped by vision and a strong sense of future.
The orchestra is our belief in youth, our investment in their development, and our confidence in what lies ahead.
With respect,
Tigran Avinyan
Mayor of Yerevan
YEREVANYOUTH ORCHESTRA
We are the Youth of Yerevan.
Like the city itself, we are always in motion.
Different voices, one breath.
Not just musicians, but a generation shaping the future of art, of performance, of culture.
We inherit a city, and we give it a voice.
Through discipline, through learning, through unity — we turn knowledge into expression. Because music is never just sound. It is belonging. It is becoming.
And together, we are not separate lines — we are one continuous movement.
Wherever we play, Yerevan is heard!
Yerevan Youth Orchestra. We carry our city to the world.

Initiated by the Yerevan Municipality, through the initiative of the Mayor of Yerevan, Tigran Avinyan, the Yerevan Youth Orchestra reflects a clear commitment to investing in the city’s cultural future.
Recognizing the power of music as a force for education, growth, and identity, the Municipality envisioned a platform that opens new horizons for young musicians —supporting their development, expanding their opportunities, and elevating artistic standards.
It is a step toward shaping a generation that will not only perform, but carry forward and redefine Yerevan’s cultural voice.
