Posted by: Armenian Library & Museum <armenianlma@yahoo.com>

Dreamland Armenia- An Evening Of Music And Poetry

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.
