This year, the festival will host renowned organists from Great Britain, Spain, France, and the Netherlands: Vincent Dubois, titular organist of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris; Jonathan Scott, a leading British organist; Juan de la Rubia, principal organist of the Sagrada Família Basilica in Barcelona; and Adriaan Hoek, city organist of Rotterdam, will all travel to Armenia.

Classical organ works will be performed, alongside organ arrangements of Armenian musical gems and organ compositions by Armenian authors.
