The Artsakh Cultural Preservation Center NGO has received an official invitation to participate in the XVI International Christmas Choir Festival “Vienna Christmas Voices,” to be held in Vienna, Austria, the aforesaid NGO informed on Facebook.
The festival will take place from November 27 to 30, and is organized by WOFA (World Festival Association), an organization active in the field of international cultural festivals.
At this prestigious international event, Armenia, as well as Armenian and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) cultural heritage, will be represented by the State Orchestra of National Instruments of Artsakh and the “We Are Our Mountains” State Song and Dance Ensemble.
This participation is an important part of the organization’s ongoing work in the fields of cultural diplomacy and international cooperation.
“We believe that culture is more than a legacy of the past. It is a powerful bridge for dialogue, mutual understanding, and cooperation between peoples. When political, geographical, or linguistic borders divide people, culture continues to bring them together.
“This belief lies at the heart of the Artsakh Cultural Preservation Center NGO’s international work: to preserve, promote, and present Armenian and Artsakh cultural heritage with dignity on international platforms,” the NGO added.
One important example of this work was our participation in an international folklore festival in Italy, organized by CIOFF International under the auspices of UNESCO. This international experience provided another valuable opportunity to present Armenian culture and Artsakh cultural heritage to an international audience.
“International programs of this kind allow us not only to showcase our culture, but also to build new professional connections, expand international cooperation, and create new opportunities for dialogue through culture,” added the Artsakh Cultural Preservation Center NGO.
