Our Projects

1.  Homecoming Competition for new String Quartet or Piano Quintet Based On An Armenian Folk Tune from Artsakh to be Chosen By Composer


Music for Unity, in cooperation with the National Association of Composers USA Los Angeles. Chapter (NACUSA-LA), invites composers, age eighteen or older, to submit a new work for HOMECOMING. 


 Music for Unity believes that because music is the universal language, it can bring
awareness to global humanitarian issues in an effective way. On September of 2023, 120,000 Armenian people were forced to leave their ancestral homeland of Artsakh, leaving behind their homes and heritage to the dictatorial territory of Azerbaijan. This genocidal act is aimed at erasing the Armenian presence and culture in the region. Music for Unity protests such crimes against humanity through the powerful force of Music! 

The HOMECOMING project is inspired by our belief that “all displaced persons have the right to return to their homes,” as stated by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatović. 


 2. By The Piano With Shushana  Established February 9, 2023

By The Piano With Shushana is a new concert series created to promote European, American, and international classical music in the community with the participation of great performers of diverse backgrounds from Los Angeles and beyond.
