As she also noted, the music to be performed will feature the Hang, national Swiss instrument. Aliose concert is scheduled to take place at Yerevan’s Mezzo Club on March 23 and Gyumri's central park on March 24. Ever since the release of first album in 2008, Aliose fame has spread throughout Switzerland and abroad. Their numerous awards, from professionals and loyal fans as well (Coup de Cœur Claude Lemesle 2006 award in Paris, Utopia 2006 award in Besançon, 2 Oreilles 2009 award in Saint-Etienne, Audience Award at the Voix de Fête 2010 festival in Geneva, 5 awards at the Médaille d’or de la chanson in Saignelégier), promise a bright future to the young Swiss band. A new acoustic dimension was reached thanks to the cellist Zéphyrin Rey-Bellet, who joined the band comprising Alizé Oswald, Xavier Michel and Sara Oswald in 2010. Aliose participated in Switzerland's national selection for Eurovision International Song Contest in 2011 and 2012. The concert of the band is Switzerland's contribution to the month of Francophonie (mois de la francophonie), traditionally marked in Armenia every spring. Events are organized in many countries worldwide arousing public interest towards the French culture.
