DREAMLAND ARMENIA- AN EVENING OF MUSIC AND POETRY

Watertown, MA – April 2007 – In the spirit of supporting cultural events
and local artists, the Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) and
the Amaras Art Alliance will host an evening of music and poetry
featuring 20th century Armenian composers and poets. The event is free
and open to public and will take place at 7 pm on Saturday, April 21,
2007.

The evening, titled "Yerazi Yerkir Hayastan" (Dreamland Armenia), pays
tribute to Armenia with a wonderful selection of music by Edgar
Hovhannisyan, Alexander Harutunyan, Khachatur Avetisyan, Edward
Bagdasarian, Edward Mirzoyan, and Aram Khachaturyan. The event features
vocalists Victoria Avetisyan and Noune Karapetian, pianists Karine
Baghdasarian, Ani Hovsepian and Anna Avetisyan, and violinist Armen
Ghazaryan, all natives of Armenia.

The concert will take place at ALMA’s Contemporary Art Gallery (65 Main
Street, Watertown MA) to take advantage of the ambiance created by the
Rafael Hambardzumyan’s exhibit whose photographs are a testament of his
love for Armenia and its people. The event is sponsored in part by the
Watertown Savings Bank.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
