Queridos amigos:
Es un placer y honor para mí poder saludar al exigente público armenio desde las páginas del folleto de la Orquesta Nacional Filarmónica. Hoy, en la maravillosa Sala Aram Jachaturián, gracias a la brillante aportación de artistas armenios, españoles y rusos, podemos disfrutar de la música de Manuel de Falla, Fran Yanes, Rímsky-Kórsakov y Stephen Goss, una inequívoca prueba de que la cooperación internacional en el campo de la cultura es una realidad fructífera, frente a quienes falsamente aluden a una supuesta “cultura de la cancelación”.
Les agradezco que hayan encontrado tiempo para acompañarnos hoy y les anticipo que la generosa hospitalidad de nuestro socio, la Orquesta Filarmónica Nacional de Armenia, nos permitirá volver a reunirnos en esta sala en octubre, para seguir, en estos tiempos complejos, brindando a la querida Armenia el abrazo de la cultura y la música de España. – His Excellence Marcos Gómez Martínez, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain in the Republic of Armenia
