The musicians performed the works of Aram Khachatryan, Arno Babajanyan and Peter Tchaikovsky. 
“Our performances in Tokyo took place in full halls: there was a great interest around the master classes. For many of them it was the first time they heard Babajanyan’s piano trio, which was accepted with a great enthusiasm. After the concerts, the lovers of music were approaching and asking for the notes”, she said.
Armine Grigoryan also announced that in the frameworks of the tour they had two concerts in Germany.
