Nvak Yerevan

Nvak Foundation began as a summer intensive music program for youth in Yerevan, Armenia. Read more about our work in the region below!

Why Yerevan?

Musicians in Armenia face unique challenges. With a national population of less than 3 million people, access to outside opportunities and exposure is crucial for the creative community.

In spite of this, Armenia has a thriving underground of young, passionate, and extraordinarily talented young musicians and writers who are eager to make their voices heard.

Nvak Yerevan's Impact

In just five years, Nvak has developed a community of 1000+ active and engaged singers, songwriters, and producers from throughout Armenia

• Local Exposure: Each week, our staff and interns organized social events and live performances (in the form of open-mic nights, busking, songwriter circles) in and around Yerevan.
• Regional Exposure: ​In February of 2018, two of the songs written by five of Nvak’ssongwriters were featured on Depi Evradesil, Armenia’s qualifying show for Eurovision.
