MONUMENTS
OHAN DURYAN STATUE
2022
Sculptor: Getik Baghdasaryan
The
monument was installed on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of
the world-famous Armenian conductor Ohan Duryan in Freedom Square, next to the
A. Spendiaryan National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet. The ceremonial
opening took place on November 4, 2022. The location of the monument was chosen
so that it would be close to the grave of Duryan's beloved composer Alexander
Spendiaryan. The monument consists of three soaring dark glass columns. On the
middle column is a bronze bust of Ohan Duryan, and on the neighboring columns
are his bronze hands at the moment of conducting the orchestra. Music is played
from speakers installed on the pedestal of the statue.
