The orchestra organized humanitarian aid collections, sending water, medicines, clothes and other necessary items to the special operation zone, including a robot backpack for working in dangerous conditions.

"We have been collecting and continue to collect first aid bags. The most important thing in them are tourniquet harnesses. One day we wrote on social media that we were going to the hospital soon and were ready to accept any help. Then one of the elderly spectators brought 10 tourniquet harnesses, and the inscription "Live, son" was hand–embroidered on each of them," said Gayane Shilajyan, the orchestra's leader.

The volunteers regularly procured and packaged humanitarian supplies for the fighters, including underwear, hygiene products, and sweets.

The orchestra has held more than 50 charity concerts and allocated over 3,000 free tickets for military personnel and their families.
