‘EVOCATIONS OF ARMENIA’ TO BE PERFORMED AT PUFFIN

Teaneck Suburbanite (Bergen, North Jersey)
October 25, 2012

With solo cello and spoken word, “Evocations of Armenia” weaves
together music and poetry to form a rich tapestry of Armenian life
and culture. It will be performed Sunday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. at The
Puffin Cultural Forum, 20 Puffin Way (off Teaneck Road) in Teaneck.

Actor Nora Armani brings alive Armenian poetry from pagan times to the
modern era, including the gripping “Birth of Vahakn,” Armenia’s God
of Fire and conqueror of dragons; the ancient legend of the doomed
lovers at Akhtamar; and the story of the enchanted Dove Abbey, by
national poet Hovhannes Toumanyan. Cellist David Bakamjian performs
poignant folk songs collected by Komitas, beautiful sacred chants
from the Middle Ages and evocative music by 20th century composer
Alan Hovhaness.

There is a $10 suggested donation. Reservations are recommended and
must be made before 5 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the performance
by emailing tix@puffinfoundation.org For more information, call
