The presentation and press conference of composer Tigran Mansuryan's "Menerger" collection took place at the Chamber Music House. The book includes the composer's works written from 1966 to 2024.

"I am very happy that this collection exists. As a musician, I consider myself a child of the Armenian language. Therefore, both this book and the subsequent volumes, which I hope will be published, are entirely Armenian poetry, Armenian art...", said Tigran Mansuryan in his speech.

The cover of the large volume with a luxurious print features a reprint of Martiros Saryan's still life "Flowers", which the Master painted in 1916. Tigran Mansuryan's works are presented chronologically. The notes accompanying the Armenian texts contain the Latin phonetic transcription. The collection includes the notation and texts of works written with the words of Garcia Lorca, Nahapet Kuchak, Baghdasar Dpir, Matteos Zarifyan, Avetik Isahakyan, Vahan Teryan, Yeghishe Charents, Hamo Sahyan, Razmik Davoyan, with Armenian and English translations.

The event was organized within the framework of the 3rd Mansuryan International Composers' Competition, which was organized by the "Koghb" Foundation. At the end of the event, Tigran Mansuryan's "Menerger" collection was distributed by the Foundation to a group of music schools and libraries in Yerevan.
