Since 2009, Miassine has been supporting the young talents of the New Names of Armenia musical ensemble, founded by Silva Mekinian.
These talented artists, aged 8 to 22, perform in Armenia and Switzerland, promoting both classical music and Armenian musical heritage.
During tours of Switzerland (Geneva, Yverdon, Clarens, and WIPO), these young people share their art, create connections between cultures, and enjoy enriching experiences, including concerts, encounters, and cultural visits.
Their music becomes a universal language of resilience, peace and hope.

On November 26, 2024, the young prodigies of the “ New Armenian Names ” program gave an exceptional concert in Geneva, at the WIPO Conference Hall, under the patronage of the Armenian Embassy in Switzerland.
The concert, dedicated to Charles Aznavour's 100th birthday, brought together classical music, jazz and Armenian folklore, with works by Khatchatourian, Brahms, Babajanian and Piazzolla.
Through its exhibitions, concerts, and artistic projects, the Miassine Foundation embodies a powerful vision of culture as a tool for resilience, dialogue, and social transformation.
From the New names of Armenia concerts, which bring together talented young musicians to promote Armenia's musical heritage, to exhibitions such as “Art et Artisanat au Féminin” (Women's arts and crafts) or “Créer pour Vivre” (Create to live), Miassine gives a voice to artists who are often invisible: refugees from Artsakh, women, people with disabilities or young people seeking recognition.
