Founded in 1996 by Harutyun Topikyan, under generous sponsorship of His Holiness Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin I, the Yerevan Chamber Choir became one of the well-known musical collectives performing outstanding choral music of classic and contemporary composers in Armenia and abroad. The continued support by His Holiness Catholicos Garegin II enabled the Choir to perform its professional activities in 2009 becoming a state funded organization and being renamed the Yerevan State Chamber Choir (YSCC).
