Toronto to Celebrate Creative Spirit With “Luminato”
CCNMatthews (press release), Canada
July 31, 2006
The Toronto Festival of Arts & Creativity Announces New Name, World
Premiere Programming and Internationally-renowned Arts CEO
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(CCNMatthews – July 31, 2006) – Luminato, the new
Toronto Festival of Arts and Creativity, was unveiled today with the
announcement of June 1-10, 2007 as the dates for the first of the
Festival’s annual celebrations.
The Festival, founded and co-chaired by Tony Gagliano, Executive
Chairman and CEO of St. Joseph Communications and David Pecaut,
Senior Partner at The Boston Consulting Group and Chair of the Toronto
City Summit Alliance, will celebrate the creative spirit across all
the arts each year. The Festival will feature the best of Canadian
and international artists in music, theatre, dance, visual arts,
film, design, literature and other disciplines. It will include both
ticketed and free events throughout the city engaging residents and
tourists in what is hoped to become, over time, one of the great arts
festivals in the world.
“Our vision started with the premise that Toronto, one of the most
culturally diverse cities in the world, has the potential to become
one of the most creative cities, as well,” said Gagliano. “Luminato,
in time, will bring the best of the world to Toronto, and the best
of Toronto to the world.”
An original name and brand was chosen to signal the festival’s unique
focus on celebrating creativity. “In choosing the Festival’s new name
– Luminato – we wanted to capture the essence of the creative spirit,
so we chose the notion of light, hence ‘lumina,'” said Pecaut. “It was
also important to capture the spirit of the city of Toronto itself,
which is exemplified by ‘TO.’ We hope ‘Luminato’ will become synonymous
with the power of the arts to enlighten all of us.”
Following on an earlier announcement in July, the founders were
also pleased to formally introduce Luminato’s newly appointed Chief
Executive Officer, Janice Price. A veteran international arts leader,
Ms. Price was most recently President and CEO of The Kimmel Center
for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia and was both the Interim
Executive Director and Vice President of Marketing and Communications
at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Ms. Price began
her career in Toronto, working with the Hummingbird Centre for the
Performing Arts, the Stratford Festival and the Corporation of Massey
Hall and Roy Thomson Hall. She has also served as a board member for
Factory Theatre, the Toronto Dance Theatre, the United Way of Greater
Toronto and the Casey House Foundation of Toronto.
Ms. Price will lead the non profit organization in developing Luminato
into one of the world’s great arts festivals attracting a large local,
national and international audience to Toronto. “I’m looking forward
to reconnecting with Toronto artists and audiences,” said Price. “I’ve
spent many years managing cultural facilities, and know first hand the
positive impact those facilities have in a community. But what drew me
to this amazing opportunity was the chance to come home and create a
truly world-class festival of artistic collaboration and creativity —
one that can expand beyond walls in its engagement with audiences.”
The Festival has received significant support to date, including
generous contributions and backing from governments, as well as
numerous arts, business and civic leaders.
“The Government of Ontario is contributing $2-million in development
funding to help launch the first Luminato Festival,” said The
Honourable Greg Sorbara, Ontario’s Minister of Finance. “This Festival
builds on the many creative investments in Toronto in recent years
and will provide an opportunity for us to invite the world to Toronto
each year to celebrate the creative achievements of both Canadian
and international artists.”
The City of Toronto has also been very supportive in the development of
the Festival. “This festival fits with the City of Toronto’s broader
vision of building on Toronto’s reputation as a city rich in arts
and culture and underscores our desire to have Toronto become known
throughout the world as a creative city,” said Mayor David Miller. “The
City is supportive of initiatives like this one.”
Today’s announcement also provided a tantalizing glimpse of what
Torontonians and visitors can expect in the next year in terms of
the Festival’s programming. Luminato will begin on June 1, 2007 and
run through an exciting 10 day program, including the debut of world
premiere events. A sampling of the programming includes:
Opening Weekend – Royal Ontario Museum
The Festival will launch in conjunction with the opening of the
Royal Ontario Museum’s Michael Lee-Chin Crystal on June 2, 2007. An
evening outdoor ceremony will feature the public debut of the dazzling
Daniel Libeskind-designed building, outdoor concerts and free museum
access all night long. There will be illuminations, entertainment,
and dancing in the street as the ROM celebrates the opening of the
Lee-Chin Crystal and kicks off a week of festivities for the Toronto
Arts Festival. Plans are also underway for a Luminato street festival
surrounding the ROM throughout the weekend.
“Not the Messiah” – by Spamalot creators Eric Idle and John Du Prez
Luminato and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra have commissioned an
oratorio from Spamalot Tony and Grammy Award winning duo Eric Idle
and John Du Prez to write the music and lyrics of a new work based on
Monty Python’s Life of Brian. The oratorio will be called “Not the
Messiah”. The Festival is proud to present the world premiere. “It
will be funnier than Handel, though not as good,” said Idle. Not the
Messiah will be conducted by Peter Oundjian, Music Director of the
Toronto Symphony Orchestra, who is also Eric Idle’s full cousin. It
will be performed by a narrator, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra,
with guest soloists and choir.
Visual Arts Display – Atom Egoyan and Kutlug Ataman –
“Auroras/Testimony”
“Auroras/Tes timony” will be a collaborative multi-media installation
created for the Festival with the Art Gallery of Ontario and exhibited
in a public space in Toronto. It is the world premiere of a co-creation
by two artists, an Armenian-Canada and a Turkish-Argentinean, who found
commonalities in each other’s work when introduced to one another in
New York last year.
Young Centre for the Performing Arts and The Distillery District
Throughout the ten days of the Festival, in the various venues of the
Young Centre for the Performing Arts and throughout the Distillery
District, celebrations will be held in theatre, dance, music, and
visual arts with the remarkable community of artists that live and
work in Toronto. As well as showcasing some of the most inspiring work
the artists have created, the Distillery portion of Luminato will
present original collaborations between disciplines and generations
with a particular emphasis on youth and emerging artists.
Closing Weekend – Waterfront – “Carnivalissima: A Spectacle of
the Senses”
Carnivalissima will be a bold celebration of Carnivals of the World,
including Brazilian, Caribbean, European, Lenten Winter Festivals
(Venice, Switzerland, Brussels, Spain), Latin and Mardi Gras.
Produced by Luminato and Harbourfront Centre, the Carnivalissima
will become a huge celebratory street party of carnivals, parades
and other spectacles, including a bold fusion of local, national and
international spectacle on the streets, on the stages, and in the
water. The Festival will use carnival traditions found in diverse
Toronto communities as a launching point for a carnival “extravaganza.”

NAGORNO-KARABAKH: U.S. MEDIATOR SAYS ELECTIONS NO OBSTACLE TO ACCORD
EurasiaNet, NY
July 31, 2006
Emil Danielyan 7/31/06
A EurasiaNet Partner Post from RFE/RL
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will not necessarily remain unresolved
even if Armenia and Azerbaijan fail to hammer out a framework peace
accord this year, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew
Bryza told RFE/RL’s Armenian Service on July 29.
Bryza is the U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is tasked
with facilitating negotiations to resolve the conflict. He insisted
that elections due in the two countries in 2007 and 2008 will not
present an insurmountable obstacle to a solution.
Finish The ‘Heavy Lifting’
“I think it’s possible to work through an election season and
still make progress,” Bryza said. “It’s up to the [Armenian and
Azerbaijani] presidents as to whether or not they have enough good
will and political courage to do so…. It’s just easier, much easier,
if we get the heavy lifting done now.”
Bryza said he hopes that presidents Ilham Aliev and Robert Kocharian
will iron out their differences in the coming months.
“Of course I’m still hopeful,” he said. “If I weren’t hopeful, why
would I even want to put in an effort? This isn’t about theater;
it’s about results.”
Looking For A Breakthrough
Bryza was speaking in Yerevan after what he described as “encouraging”
talks with Kocharian that marked the start of his first tour of the
conflict zone since his appointment as U.S. co-chair. He replaced
fellow State Department official Steven Mann in that position in
early June, following the failure of Kocharian’s last face-to-face
negotiations with Aliev. That failure all but dashed hopes for a
near-term solution to the Karabakh dispute.
In two subsequent statements, the mediating group’s U.S., French,
and Russian co-chairs indicated their frustration. They said they
will initiate no more Armenian-Azerbaijani talks until the two sides
display greater commitment to a lasting peace.
Bryza, who proceeded to the Karabakh capital, Stepanakert, later on
July 29, said he is visiting the region to get “some more guidance
from the presidents themselves to determine how they would like to
take the process further.”
He said he was assured by Kocharian that the Minsk Group plan is
essentially acceptable to Yerevan.
“I enjoyed hearing his account of where things stand and how we got
here,” he said. “I felt a constructive, candid attitude on his part.
He was very open. And he helped me think through what sort of
recommendations I might bring to my fellow co-chairs.”
‘There Is Political Will Here’
Asked whether he found the kind of “political will” for compromise
that was demanded by the mediators, Bryza replied: “I think there is
political will here, definitely, to keep the process going. There have
been public statements that the [Minsk Group’s proposed] framework,
the principles are agreeable [for Armenia].
“What’s never clear is whether or not there is enough will on both
sides to eliminate or to resolve the distance that still stands between
them,” he added. “But I will just say I feel encouraged after today’s
discussions.”
Armenian officials have claimed implicitly that the two rounds of
negotiations between Kocharian and Aliev this year collapsed because
the latter backtracked on his earlier acceptance of the key principles
of the peace plan that were officially disclosed by the Minsk Group
co-chairs last month. Bryza, however, was careful not to blame any
of the parties for the deadlock, saying that they both want to “enact
some changes to the ideas that are on the table.”
“The principles that are on the table don’t constitute an agreement,”
Bryza said. “They are principles, suggestions. So it’s not possible for
anyone to walk away from an agreement, if there isn’t an agreement.”
At the heart of those principles is the idea of holding a
referendum on Karabakh’s status after the liberation of most of the
Armenian-occupied districts in areas of Azerbaijan surrounding the
disputed enclave. Bryza confirmed that the mediators believe the
status should be decided by the “people of Karabakh”
“But the question is how do you define the people of Karabakh? And
there were residents there in 1988 who wish to participate,” he added
in a clear reference to the region’s displaced Azerbaijani minority.
“All these things have still to be worked out as part of a broad
package.”
No Breach Of Territorial Integrity
Aliev and other Azerbaijani officials have repeatedly stated in recent
weeks that they will never accept any deal that could legitimize
Karabakh’s secession from Azerbaijan. Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov was quoted by the day.az news service earlier this week
as indicating that Baku is only ready to let the Karabakh Armenians
decide the extent of their autonomy within Azerbaijan.
“The principle of self-determination does not mean a breach of
territorial integrity,” Mammadyarov said.
This might explain why the leadership of the self-proclaimed
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) has expressed serious misgivings
about the proposed peace formula.
Bryza, who is apparently the highest ranking U.S. official ever
to visit Karabakh, appeared to downplay Stepanakert’s objections,
implying that Baku and Yerevan have the final say in the peace process.
“It’s really up to presidents Kocharian and Aliev whether or not they
will agree to the formula,” he said. “We are just waiting for a sign
from the presidents as to whether or not they would like to restart
a formal process.”
‘Now Is The Time’
Bryza, who traveled to Baku on July 30, also said he will meet the
group’s French and Russian co-chairs in Paris early next week to
brief them on the results of his shuttle diplomacy. The mediators
stressed in their recent statements that “now is the time” to resolve
the Karabakh conflict.
Some of them warned earlier that failure to do so before the end of
this year would keep the peace process deadlocked for at least three
more years. They pointed to parliamentary and presidential elections
due in Armenia in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and an Azerbaijani
presidential ballot scheduled for 2008. Many observers believe that it
will be even more difficult for each side to make painful concessions
to the other in the run-up to the polls.
But in an indication of the mediators’ fading hopes for 2006, Bryza
insisted that a Karabakh settlement will be feasible even during the
election period.
“I don’t necessarily feel that there needs to be a hard deadline
on the peace process,” he said. “It’s better if we have a sense of
what compromises might be suggested before other political events
[in Armenia and Azerbaijan] move forward. But it doesn’t have to be
by the end of this year.”
“I would argue that the elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan don’t pose
an obstacle to reaching an agreement,” he continued. “They just pose
an additional complicating factor. It’s up to the presidents to guide
their populations or societies, their voters in whatever direction they
wish (a) to win the vote for themselves and their political parties,
but (b) to build support for the agreement.
“If the presidents succeed, with our help as mediators, in finalizing
and eliminating the final differences with regard to this framework
agreement and if they come up with an agreement that’s mutually
acceptable, that should be a plus in an election,” Bryza argued.
“That’s a huge achievement that should actually help political
leaders and their parties to win votes. So it could be useful to
have elections. The is question is, though, will the presidents have
decided to take these tough decisions in time?”

New Python, Egoyan works planned for Toronto festival
CBC Montreal, Canada
July 31, 2006
New works by Spamalot creator Eric Idle and filmmaker Atom Egoyan will
be on the bill during a new festival scheduled for Toronto next June.
The Toronto Festival of Arts, dubbed Luminato, is being planned as a
16-day showcase of arts and creativity with events at cultural venues
around the city.
Some details of the $10-million event were released on Monday.
Idle and John du Prez are creating an oratorio with music and lyrics
based on Monty Python’s Life of Brian. The world premiere of Not the
Messiah will be performed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra with a
narrator, soloists and choir.
Grammy winner Idle described the new work as “funnier than Handel,
though not as good.”
Egoyan, director of Where the Truth Lies and The Sweet Hereafter,
will be working with artist Kutlug Ataman on a multimedia installation
at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
The Armenian filmmaker and the Turkish artist say they found
“commonalities” in one another’s work when they met last year.
Ontario’s provincial government has pledged $2 million toward the
event, being planned by the Toronto City Summit Alliance.
The city of Toronto also has been supportive of the new festival,
but no money has yet come from Ottawa.
While Toronto is home to dozens of festivals throughout the year,
this festival is seen as a larger event that will draw artists from
Canada and around the world.
Music, theatre, dance, visual arts, film, design and literature will
all be part of the Luminata festival, which coincides with the opening
of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, a massive renovation at the Royal
Ontario Museum.
Atom Egoyan is working on a multimedia installation with Turkish
artist Kutlug Ataman. Festival organizers have hired a high-profile
chief executive with an international reputation to run the event.
Janice Price is former president of the Kimmel Center for the
Performing Arts in Philadelphia and former vice-president of market
at the Lincoln Center in New York.
The festival will take place at the Young Centre, in the Distillery
District, at Harbourfront and at dozens of other cultural institutions
around the city.
It will close with an international carnival featuring parades and
carnival acts from around the world.
Luminata is scheduled for June 1-10, 2007.

Bryza: Elections do not hinder negotiations on Karabakh
Regnum, Russia
July 31, 2006
“I see there is a political will to solve the question; philosophy
laid in the basis of our proposals, is acceptable,” OSCE Minsk Group
US co-Chair Matthew Bryza stated to Radio Liberty after his meeting
with Armenian President Robert Kocharyan.
Speaking on proposals’ details, he stressed that there are questions,
connected with Kelbajar and Lachin, as well as conducting a
referendum. Matthew Bryza confirmed that, according to OSCE MG
co-chairs, Nagorno Karabakh people should solve the question of
Karabakh’s status itself. “However, the question is who should be
considered to be Karabakh people. There are people, who lived there
in 1988 and who wish to participate in the referendum too,” Mr. Bryza
stated. “All these questions should be processed as a part of single
package.” “Principles, which are now on the negotiation table, are no
agreement. They are just principles, proposals. Hence, an agreement
is unavoidable, if there is no such yet,” he stressed.
Answering a question, whether there is a chance to reach an agreement
within this year or whether the question will be postponed till 2009,
Mr. Bryza said: “Of course, there is a chance. It would be favorable
for presidents of both countries to appear at the elections with a
settled problem. However, elections do not prevent from negotiations.
Simply, the question is much easier to be solved, when political
processes are not escalated.” At the same time, the US diplomat
stressed that the OSCE MG is ready to act until parties seriously
consider the talks: “We see that our friends in Armenia consider the
question quite seriously.”
Mentioning situation with democracy in Armenia, Mr. Bryza said:
“We hope that Armenia moves in a right direction. The US-Armenian
relations will be the stronger; the Armenian democracy will be
stronger. Armenia’s participation in the Millennium Challenge Program
is the best evidence for the US to be sure that Armenia is moving
forward on a democratic way. Democracy is a process.”

OSCE MINSK GROUP U.S. CO-CHAIR SAYS HIS MEETING WITH NKR PRESIDENT CONSTRUCTIVE
Arka News Agency, Armenia
July 31, 2006
YEREVAN, July 31. /ARKA/. U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk group Matthew
Bryza said that his meeting with NKR President Arkady Ghukasyan in
Stepanakert was constructive.
“The atmosphere during the meeting was very constructive and
creative. We exchanged opinions and looked for joint approaches to
contribute to the progress,” Bryza told reporters after the meeting
on last Saturday.
Commenting on this meeting, Ghukasyan said that “no doubt that one
of the issues was Nagorno Karabakh’s participation in the negotiations.
“I think that Mr. Bryza understands that the conflict cannot be
resolved without Nagorno-Karabakh. Not only him, but also all the
other mediators realize that,” Ghukasyan said.
At the same time, he pointed out that without visiting the NKR and
being introduced to the situation there, Bryza could not have a full
idea of what takes place in the region.
NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosyan, who was present at this meeting,
pointed out that “a rather creative approach both from the president
and the U.S. co-chair was displayed during the meeting”.
He said that they talked over ideas, which are still to be clarified,
agreed and discussed for a long time.
“I am gland that Bryza visited us as he had promised. We agreed on
this in the USA. Mr. Bryza is rather energetic and ready to act in
a constructive way,” Petrosyan said. R.O. -0–

MOST IMPORTANT PRECONDITION FOR KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT
HISTORIC RECONCILIATION BETWEEN PEOPLES OF REGION
Arka News Agency, Armenia
July 31, 2006
YEREVAN, July 31. /ARKA/. The most important precondition for
establishment of peace and settlement of the Karabakh conflict
is a historic reconciliation between the peoples of the region,
NKR President Arkady Ghukasyan reported at the meeting with human
rights advocates and journalists from the NKR, Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia and a number of European countries.
The NKR president’s press service reported that Ghukasyan pointed out
that “without such reconciliation, it will be difficult to implement
any agreement on the conflict settlement, eliminate the war aftermaths
and open a way for regional development” The NKR president pointed
out the fact of the presence of an Azerbaijani delegation in the NKR,
which, according to him, is a positive example of a constructive
dialogue between representatives of the two communities, divided by
the war.
In his turn, Arzu Abdullaeva, co-chair of the Helsinki Civil Assembly
(HCA) and coordinator of the Azerbaijani national committee of
this organization pointed out that HCA members and the organization
“Public Council for Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict Settlement” created
not long ago in Baku, stand for immediate participation of the NKR
in the negotiations for a peaceful settlement to the conflict and
establishment of friendly relations between the two communities.
Abdullaeva also said that there is a warm atmosphere of mutual
understanding and cooperation between the existing human rights NGOs
of Armenia, Karabakh and Azerbaijan. “We would like such an atmosphere
to prevail during contacts at an official level,” she said. R.O. -0–

Etisalat and Orascom lose outbid for AmenTel
ITP Technology, United Arab Emirates
July 31, 2006
by Alex Ritman
Etisalat has lost the bidding for Armenian fixed and mobile operator
ArmenTel. According to the Russian news agency ComNews, the 90% stake
currently held by Greek telco OTE will go to a consortium consisting of
India’s VTEL holdings and Knightsbridge Associates, and also believed
to include Sistema Group of Russia. The Russian company is thought
to be taking control of ArmenTel’s monopoly fixed-line business with
the Indian and Armenian side of the consortium taking responsibility
for its mobile operations.
Following OTE’s announcement that it was to sell its 90% stake in
April, 10 parties announced their interest, including Etisalat,
Sistema, MTC of Kuwait and Belgium’s Belgacom. In June, OTE reduced
the number of bidders to four, namely Vimpelcom and MTS of Russia,
an Etisalat-backed consortium, and the winning group.
While the amount of the winning bid is as yet unknown, the 90% stake
is estimated to be worth over US$300 million.
As of April 2006, ArmanTel had a fixed-line subscriber base of around
595,000 subscribers and a mobile subscriber base of around 320,000.
Egyptian operator Orascom has also missed an expansion opportunity,
losing out in the auction for Serbian mobile operator Mobi 63 in the
Balkan country’s largest state-owned asset sale. Mobi 63, which has
over two million subscribers, eventually went to Norway’s Telenor
for US$1.9 billion. Telekom Austria was also involved in the auction.
