Syrian singer Lena Chamamyan, one of the most popular performers in the Middle East, will take the stage in Istanbul as part of the 6th Avea concerts. 

The young singer, who is of Armenian descent, blends jazz and traditional Armenian music, and will perform at the Istanbul Congress Center on May 15.
