On the occasion of the demise of the renowned musician Georgi Garanian, President Serzh Sargsyan and Mrs. Rita Sargsyan sent a letter of condolences to the Garanian family.

The letter states:

“We were greatly saddened by the news of the untimely demise of the People’s Artist of Russia, composer and conductor Georgi Aram Garanian. We lost a great saxophone player and composer whose pieces of music have their unique place in the treasury of the world jazz and pop music.

Our great compatriot was always performing with a special delight on the Armenian stage. His last performance in Yerevan, conducted in the framework of the Armenian Jazz-70 Festival, is unforgettable.

We express our sincere condolences to the family, friends and the fans of the master of “living voice”. Bright memory of Georgi Garanian will stay with us for ever.”
