Architect։ Stepan Kyurkchyan
Located in the Ring Park at 1 Isahakyan Street. Built according to the project of architect Stepan Kyurkchyan. Kyurkchyan is also the author of the designs for fountains, colored bas-reliefs, and the chandelier.
In the
1940s-1950s, a wooden “Green Theater” operated on the territory of the Chamber
Music House, which later burned down.
The idea of having a Chamber Music House belonged to Grigor Hasratyan, Chairman of the Yerevan City Council of the Armenian SSR (mayor in 1962-1975). He also greatly supported the implementation of the project, discussing every detail of the work with the architect.
The House was
opened in October 1977 with a performance by the Komitas String Quartet. In
1979, an organ was installed here, which is unique in its kind in the former
USSR.
The building of
the Chamber Music House is different and special in its form, built on the
principle of “free planning”.
In 2003, a
monument to the world-famous Armenian marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky was
erected near the House (1987 project, architect Stepan Kyurkchyan, sculptor
Yuri Petrosyan).
