As part of the memorial events called the Trinity of Remembrance, Giuseppe Verdi's "Requiem" will be performed on April 23 at 11 PM at the Armenian Genocide Memorial. The concert will feature the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra and the State Academic Choir of Armenia, conducted by Eduard Topchyan. The event will also be broadcast live, according to the Prime Minister's Chief Advisor Arayik Harutyunyan during a press conference.

“On April 23, late night, at 12 AM, the State Chamber Choir of Armenia and the 'Hover' State Chamber Choir will present Mozart's 'Requiem' at the Komitas Chamber Music House, conducted by the German-based conductor Alexander Iryadyan. On April 24, at 7:15 PM, the Armenian National Symphony Orchestra and the State Chamber Choir of Armenia will perform Tigran Mansuryan's 'Requiem' at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex, under the direction of conductor Robert Mlkeyan. This event is expected to have the participation of diplomatic delegations. This concert will be held under the patronage of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan,” Harutyunyan stated.

He emphasized that additional events are planned: “Specifically, diplomatic representations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold an exhibition for the public on April 24 in the lobby of the Yerevan City Hall, which will be related to the monuments. On April 21 at 12 PM, there will be a temporary exhibition at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute titled 'In the Footsteps of Families Who Survived the Armenian Genocide.' On April 27, the traditional flower gathering will take place, where paper is made from leaves to be used for sending gratitude letters.”

Harutyunyan also informed that several roads will be closed on April 24: “Traditionally, the section from the Victory Bridge to the Leningrad Avenue and the upper section of Verfel Street towards Brazil Square will be closed. Access to Tsitsernakaberd will be temporarily restricted from 9-10 AM on April 24 due to visits by official delegations, and I urge our citizens to limit visits to Tsitsernakaberd during that time or a little earlier to prevent disruptions.”
