- Here is a brief description about this composition work “Sasoun Is Calling Us”:
The Composition is based on a work song from the region Sasoun in Western Armenia. However, this project based only on symbols representing the Armenian Genocide and culture in general, with a tiny glimpse into the original song’s theme.

- The song is remembered by a second generation Armenian genocide survivor Asdghig Hagopian.

- All the Genocide survivors’ materials in the work are from my father’s Mihran Minassian’s personal collection of Armenian Genocide Survivor's interviews.

- All the photos within the work are from my father’s collection as well. Some of them have also never been published.
