"Fortunately, I met a famous opera singer from Armenia, Liliya Ovchiyan who ended up being my voice teacher. Within 6 months she guided me to develop a technique for my first performance as a singer; the Sydney Concervatorium Opera School audition. What was meant to only be a side hobby, quickly transformed into so much more.

“These singers possess rare voice types…Ms Liliya Ovchyan possesses a strong dramatic mezzo soprano. She would be ideal for the great roles of Verdi…..Mr. Gagik Shirinyan is a powerful bass with a particularly impressive middle register.
In my opinion, they are both well-trained opera singers who have obviously had considerable careers in Europe.”

“On behalf of the Armenian Missionary Association, I would like to thank you for your support of our organisation and the Concert held on Saturday, 29th November 2003, and dedicated in tribute to Aaron Khatchaturian.
The event was most successful and your performance was outstanding.
We sincerely congratulate you on the wonderful vocal talents you possess and wish you much success in your future…...”
Rev. Krikor Youmoushakjian
“In my opinion, both artists possess strong, dramatic voices of international caliber. Certainly, singers with this vocal size and color are extremely rare in Australia. I anticipate that Liliya & Gagik could secure opportunities with Opera Australia and the state opera companies, as well as concert engagements with the ABC symphony orchestras.…..”
Mr. Patrick Togher
“Liliya Ovchyan and Gagik Shirinyan have been to our association for more than a year. During that time we have found them to be fine, upstanding individuals with outstanding morals, values and exceptional musical ability.
We had much pleasure in organising their recent concert, where the Hon Phyllip Ruddock MP, attended as our special guest….Their talents were enjoyed by many……
They are gifted in their field and would prove to be an excellent asset to Australian Opera.”
