Soloist of the Moscow Virtuosi orchestra Department of Culture In January, Hripsime Ayrapetyants will perform at the Donetsk State Academic Philharmonic with the Donetsk Academic Symphony Orchestra named after Sergei Prokofiev. Master classes will also be held for students from music schools in the city.

Then some inner reserves kick in, no matter if it's hot or cold, whether there's a sound system or not, you manage to give 200 percent. There's no other way. Those memories will never be erased from my memory. I thought I had to play something purely life-affirming, but it turned out that Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Sentimental Waltz can move you to tears. That's how sensitive the audience is there. Hripsime Airapetyants, soloist with the Moscow Virtuosi orchestra

Since 2023, the artist has been participating in concert programs in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, the Republic of Crimea, as well as in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions for participants of the Special Military Operation (SVO).

Hripsime Ayrapetyants has also participated in international music festivals in Colmar (France), Bermuda, the David Oistrakh Festival in Estonia, and the Open Music Fest in Armenia.

For her personal contribution to the development of military musical culture and strengthening the morale of military personnel, the Russian Ministry of Defense awarded Ripsime Ayrapetyants the medals "For Aid and Mercy" and "Major General Alexander Alexandrov."
