VIDEO

The peak of Anahit Tsitsikian's performing career was in the 60-70s of the XX century. Unfortunately, only a small number of her performances have survived in video format. Despite the very acive cultural life of Armenia at that time a very little footage was filmed.


In 1964, Director of "Hayfilm" studio - Jirayr Avetisyan shot a film concert (video), where Anahit Tsitsikian played Komitas's "Krunk” (Crane, the bird). It soon became not only the business card of the violinist but also a real "hit" of that time. Although the video was often shown on Armenian TV at that time, but unfortunately it has not been preserved today.


Another video of "Krunk" was shot in Moscow, shot by the All-Union "Ekran” (Тhe Screen) creative association in Garni (1973). Two silent videos with Anahit Tsitsikian's performances have been preserved in the violinist's personal archive. Aram Khachaturian N1 Dance (1948) on black-and-white and Ponce-Kreisler's "Esterlita". Several other materials have been preserved in the archive, where Anahit Tsitsikian tells about her life and time. All of these video materials have been re-mastered, sounded and digitalized by the “Anahit” Cultural Foundation.
