On November 17, 2012 the YerazArt Foundation will host its annual fundraising event, a dinner reception and private concert, in Lexington – Massachusetts. On this occasion, the Foundation has invited two former YerazArt Fellows, pianist Nara Avetisyan, currently at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and cellist Vardan Gasparyan, now at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, to perform at this year’s event.

Avetisyan and Gasparyan had both been selected to take part in the YerazArt-sponsored North American Concert Tour back in 2007 and 2008 respectively.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the YerazArt Foundation’s Instrument Donation Program and other educational programs in Armenia.
