Armenian qanun player Marianna Gevorgyan received one of the top three awards at the World Folk Vision Global Cultural Initiative Festival, which was the Music of the Peoples of the World award. The winner was decided 50% based on voting and 50% based on the jury’s decision. The qanun player spoke about this with Aravot Daily.
According to the festival’s website, she is also the leader in the top 100 musicians who participated in the festival.
Marianna Gevorgyan happily noted that the vote was a united effort among Armenians. Armenians living across the world were proud of the fact that her last name ending in -yan and the Armenian tricolor positioned next to the name were displayed on the festival’s website.
