In celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, Armenian-American classical musicians have come together for the families of Armenian heroes. Organized by the Pogossian/Manouelian musician family, Songs of Gratitude is a virtual Thanksgiving concert of classical music, in support of the Insurance Foundation for Servicemen (1000plus.am).

Featured performers include the Pogossian/Manouelian family (Anoush, Cara, Edvard, Varty, Movses), as well as their distinguished colleagues and friends in the field of classical music: Kim Kashkashian, Sergei Babayan, Ani Kavafian, Ida Kavafian, Boris Allakhverdyan, Artur Avanesov, Lilit Shougarian, Shoushik Barsoumian, Danielle Segen, Eva Aronian, and Vatche Jambazian. The award-winning Armenian actor Michael Poghosyan (Lorik, Yerevan Blues) also makes a special appearance.

The Insurance Foundation for Servicemen (1000plus.am) was created to insure the social well-being of soldiers who are serving Armenia, as well as their families. Every employed person in Armenia, by giving 1000 drams ($2) every month to the Foundation, insures a soldier’s life. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Songs of Gratitude aspires to encourage diaspora Armenians to join in the noble cause of helping the families of Armenian heroes.
