Architecture
The hall was built and designed in the shape of an Armenian three-nave basilica type church. It has a one single hall with no visible limits between the stage and the seats forming an entirely overlapping space between the musicians and the audience. The organ of the Komitas Chamber Music Hall is one of the unique pipe organs that have been used in the USSR. It was designed in the Netherlands on the basis of the 17th-century organs to perform mainly Baroque music, consisted of 4000 pipes. It was installed in 1979 and renovated in 2007.
The external walls of the hall are decorated with traditional Armenian ornaments. A large pool with water fountains forms the backyard of the music hall.[3]
In 2003, the statue of Ivan Aivazovsky (designed by sculptor Yura Petrosyan) was erected near the chamber music house.
