Avet Vardgesi Barseghyan (Armenian: Ավետ Վարդգեսի Բարսեղյան, Armenian pronunciation: [ɑˈvɛt bɑɾsɛʁˈjɑn]) is an Armenian songwriter and TV host,[1][2] who hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Yerevan, Armenia, alongside Gohar Gasparyan.
The Junior Eurovision Song Contest, often shortened to JESC, Junior Eurovision or Junior EuroSong, is a song competition which has been organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) annually since 2003 and is open exclusively to broadcasters that are members of the EBU. It is held in a different European city each year, however the same city can host the contest more than once.
Relegated to the background in the brutal times of a transitional period, the Maestro, who is a devotee of art, an advocate of moral standards, a cellist of a symphonic orchestra, a professor of a conservatory, unable to withstand the prevailing wildness, has inevitable clashes with the environment and experiences a heavy personal drama. Archival footage of protests preceding and following the 2008 Armenian presidential elections are used in the film.
