ARMENIAN RHAPSODY

Sunday: Tiny Armenia has contributed disproportionately to the world
of classical music, and pianist Nareh Arghamanyan, the Vienna-trained
winner of last year’s Montreal International Competition, is the latest
in a distinguished line. Opening the Frederic Chopin Society’s new
season, her program salutes the current spate of composer bicentennials
(Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann) and adds Beethoven’s glowing, songful
A-flat Sonata, Op. 110. (3 p.m. today. $12-$20. Janet Wallace Fine Arts
Center, Macalester College, 130 Macalester St., St. Paul. 612-822-0123
or )

“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
