Vem is a classical music radio station. The sound library of Vem has more than 30,000 units of the best performances of world classical music, which
open and end in Armenian.

Armenian classical and spiritual music occupies a large place on Vem’s airwaves. Many high-quality performances of Armenian spiritual and classical music recorded in Vem Studio are also part of the sound library.

In Armenian, the word “vem” means “rock, big stone,” also “basis, foundation.” In spiritual terminology, “vem” symbolizes Jesus Christ. At the same time, “vem” denotes credo, dogma, and a unity of the main principles of faith. In general, “vem” stands for a “base of existence” or “fundamental values of human life.”

Our name reveals our mission. Our activity is dedicated to the coverage of fundamental concepts and values of human life, to strengthening of spiritual awareness, and to protection of Armenian identity and culture.

Vem’s programs have been broadcast since January 2002, and the official opening of the radio station took place on April 7, 2002.
