According to the «kontak» of Catholicos of All Armenians Gevorg D, he had to take a vocal orphan boy with him to St. Echmiatsin to study at the Gevorgyan Seminary. Soghomon was chosen from about twenty orphans. During the years of studying at the Gevorgyan Seminary (1881-1893), Soghomon's exceptional musical abilities, which he had demonstrated since childhood, were revealed. Under the guidance of Rev. Sahak Amatuni, he learns the theoretical and practical basics of Armenian spiritual/church music. During this period, he began to collect and study Armenian folk songs, as well as perform creative experiments. The bisexual (both for boys and girls) choir "Gusan" consisting of 300 people is founded, giving concerts in different cities. He continues his scientific and pedagogical activities, presents articles and reports. The Armenian Genocide organized and carried out by Ottoman Turkey in1915 tragically interrupted the activity of the genius musician.


He was also arrested and exiled along with the Istanbul Armenian intellectuals. After some time, through the mediation of the American ambassador Morgenthau, Komitas was sent back from exile, but as a result of the tragedy he experienced, he lost his mental balance and stopped creating. 1916-1919 Komitas was in the psychiatric hospital of Sisli district of Constantinople.
