Belonging and love are deeply precious. In fact, without them, nothing can happen. But institutions can no longer function on these feelings alone, and neither can choirs. Love needs to be accompanied by planning, an archive, repertoire, transportation, a policy for children, consistent support.

When it comes to a children's choir singing in Armenian, the significance of this work becomes even greater. Because here, a child does not simply learn a melody. They connect with the sound of a language, the memory of a culture, and sometimes the warmth of a word that is no longer heard very often at home.
