Komitas Vardapet is the most significant and iconic figure of Armenia. He is revered by all Armenians. A tragic figure and the genius of Armenian music, he survived the Armenian genocide, yet his story remains at the cultural centre of the Armenian people and nation. All Armenians, both in Armenia and in the diaspora, recognise their soul and find their spiritual nature in Komitas. It is often said that the Armenian people continue today to live through him and his musical legacy. Much of the creative legacy of Komitas, music, papers, manuscripts, were destroyed or lost.

Today, there is growing worldwide interest in Komitas' music with recordings, his concerts, and performances. During his lifetime, Komitas was highly regarded by his musical colleagues everywhere, including in Europe. He travelled extensively to the major musical capitals of Europe, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, and more. He also maintained a full and lively correspondence with churchmen, musical colleagues, and intellectuals in many countries. His letters give us an opportunity to understand this brilliant musician who possessed remarkable features of charm, modesty, an acutely perceptive mind, and an original wit.
