MUSIC SCHOOLS OF ARMENIA TO PARTICIPATE IN FESTIVAL
The specialized music school after Alexander Spendiarian turns 75 this year. On this occasion the school is organizing a contesting festival which will be unique, as the school director Samvel Sahakian thinks, for the participation of musicians representing all instruments.
The festival will launch tomorrow at "Gabriel Sundukian" State Academic Theatre and will last 10 days. "There are 452 applications for the festival. There never was such a thing in the past, it seems to be a nation-wide movement with the participation of almost all music schools of Armenia", director of Spendiarian music school said yesterday to a press conference.
The jury of 17 members will be headed by Samvel Sahakian himself and Edvar Mirzoyan will be an honorable chairman. Mr. Sahakian said that they included young professions and graduates of Spendiarian school in the jury.
Mr. Sahakian expressed concern that the RA Law on Education views music schools as extracurricular sections. "I think that our status should change. The music schools should at be considered pre-professional establishments the least", the director said. He thinks that the music schools need to be subsidized by the state. "We are not able to boost salaries of our teachers as the state-financed secondary schools do", Samvel Sahakian noted.
