Mane Minasyan

I'm Mane Minasyan, born into a family of doctors, but shaped into a self-made art enthusiast, performer, and ultimately, a professional fueled by love. My journey unfolded organically, leaving no other option but to follow the passion that emerged.

Choir conducting became my paramount love, revealing a broader passion for all art forms and cultures. Faced with the difficulty of choosing just one, I found peace in embracing the diversity of artistic expressions.

For the past 5 years, I've had the privilege of singing with the 32-year-old “Hover” State Chamber choir, realizing a dream job with an exceptional team. “Hover” not only shapes the cultural identity of Armenia but also holds significant value across generations.

In parallel, I engage in various art projects as an art manager. Among them, "Saghsara," a cultural initiative dedicated to preserving and popularizing Armenian folk music, stands out. With a rich collection of melodies from diverse regions, "Saghsara" continuously evolves before reaching the wider public, boasting an extensive archive of Armenian folk songs.

My passion for collecting antiques, inherited from my father, Harutyun Minasyan, led to curating "vecarak" (six fables), an antique store. This initiative appreciates and preserves historically significant items, bridging the past and present. These artifacts not only reflect human evolution, preferences, and emotions but also embody a rich cultural legacy.

Life motivates me to love, work, study, create, stay peaceful, and appreciate the time.
