On August 15, 2025, the Armenian Pianists Association NGO hosted summer master classes with the renowned pianist Ani Ter-Martirosyan (Musikhochschule Köln, Germany).

Her classes were light, professional, inspiring, and useful for participants of all ages—from school students to Conservatory pianists.

We warmly thank the Al. Hekimyan Music School and its director Monika Petrosyan for providing the concert hall.
