Since 2008, the AGBU New York Special Events Committee (NYSEC), under the auspices of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Armenia to the United Nations, has celebrated the achievements of Armenian youth who have received AGBU scholarships during their studies at music schools including The Juilliard School of Music, the National Music Conservatory of Paris and the Yerevan State Komitas Conservatory. Proceeds from this performance go towards the AGBU Performing Arts Scholarship Program.
