"Musical Bridges: NOUR"

Sunday, May 11 at 8:00 PM TPT Channel 17

NOUR performs in the many musical traditions of the Middle East and
Mediterranean. The group sings in Armenian, Kurdish, Turkish, Ladino,
Arabic, Hebrew, Assyrian, and Greek.

The program draws from the concert NOUR gave in November 2007 at the
Ted Mann Theater on the University of Minnesota campus. The TPT
program was produced by the University of Minnesota in partnership
with Twin Cities Public Television’s Minnesota Channel.

The concert was organized by the Arsham and Charlotte Ohanessian Chair
in the College of Liberal Arts with additional support from the Center
for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Institute for Advanced Study,
Institute for Global Studies, History Department, Center for German
and European Studies, European Studies Consortium, and Modern Greek
Studies.

Watch this program on TPT-Channel 17 on broadcast television,
satellite and most cable stations; see Channel 13 on the Comcast Cable
system in Minneapolis.

“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
