Garni, Geghard with Little Singers of Armenia

What made this excursion particularly special was that the volunteers had the fortune of being accompanied by the Little Singers of Armenia, a choir of girls aged 11 to 16 who have been honored countless times and are internationally well known. On the way to the temple and monastery, a brief stop was made at the Charents Arch that beautifully frames the Ararat Valley with Masis in the backdrop. Afterwards, they made their way to the pagan Garni Temple located in the Kotayk Province. Along with a tour, the choir serenaded the volunteers with a mini concert inside this Parthenon-like temple. The next stop was the Geghard Monastery situated on the cliffs of the Azat river gorge. Once again, the Little Singers of Armenia filled the silence with a few songs performed inside one of the churches. This excursion, although shorter, was a heavenly visit that presented some of Armenia’s most historical and visited sites.
