Abstract

K. S. Sarajev was invited to Yerevan Conservatory in 1936-37. A few years later, in the early 1940s, he eventually settled in Armenia, and until the end of his life undertook various activities here, including serving as rector of the Conservatory for more than fifteen years The article highlights the huge contribution of Sarajev as the organizer and founder of the Conservatory Library. From the first day of his stay in Armenia, Konstantin Sarajev donated his personal invaluable library to the Conservatory. Today, the library holds more than twenty thousand copies of books, textbooks, claviers and symphonic scores, among which two hundred books and around two thousand notes and scores belong to the Sarajev Foundation. The library named after Konstantin Sarajev has been able to maintain and grow this valuable collection thanks to the dedication and hard work of its employers over several generations.
