On September 10th, Naregatsi Folk Instruments Orchestra (Artistic Director, composer and tar player Artem Khachatur) had a concert in the hall of the Church of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino of Rome, Italy.

The Orchestra provided a beautiful opportunity for those present to enjoy the Armenian folk music.

Father Narek came up with a spiritual speech at the opening of the event.

- It is very symbolic for us to perform in this church. We are glad to have the opportunity to spread the Armenian culture. We have brought a special gift from our homeland. The Naregatsi Art Institute has a unique gift - a small cross-stone with NAI logo combining the blessing and culture of the Lord.

The gift is for Father Narek, who assisted in organizing this concert. With this gift, we bestow on you the title of "Ambassador of Armenian Culture", because you are one of those who uphold the honor of the Armenian nation in the whole world, - said NAI Founder Nareg Hartounian in his closing speech.

This is the third stop of the great concert tour. The Orchestra will also give concerts in France and Switzerland. The other concerts were already held in Tricase and Istanbul.
