    Erebuni Armenian Chorus to sing May 15
    Thursday, April 28, 2005

    The Erebuni Armenian Chorus of Greater Boston will hold its Spring
    Concert on May 15 at 3 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Church, 1321 Centre
    St., Newton.

    A special feature of Erebuni's program will be an appearance by
    the children's chorus of the Montessori Educare School of Newton and
    the St. James Armenian Church Jr. Choir/Chorale of Watertown. More
    than 60 youngsters, many of whom are not of Armenian descent, will
    share their unique repertoire which includes Armenian music.

    This is the 10th anniversary year for the Erebuni Chorus which
    performs a cappella music, much of which has been arranged for
    four-part singing by its founder and artistic director, Maestro Artur
    Veranian. The chorus has an international repertoire of music -
    Armenian and non-Armenian, traditional and classical, liturgical and
    modern. The group has been invited again this year to appear at the
    Massachusetts State House during its annual Armenian Genocide
    commemorative program in April.

    Erebuni's Spring Concert will include musical compositions of
    Komitas Vardapet, Makar Ekmalian, Sayat Nova, Alexander Haroutunian,
    Robert Amirkhanian, and Robert Petrossian, among others. Conducting
    the entire program, both adult and children's choruses, will be
    Maestro Veranian, who has won many grand and special prizes in
    international competitions in Italy, Germany and Spain. Former
    conductor of the Armenian State Academic Chorus and the State Chamber
    Orchestra in Armenia, Veranian is currently on the faculty of the
    Montessori Educare School and is music director of St. James Armenian
    Apostolic Church.

    Tickets for the concert are available through any Erebuni Chorus
    member at $15 for adults and $5 for children under 12. For further
    information, please contact Nicole Simmons at 617-484-6748, Hasmig
    Maserejian at 617-484-1451, or write to Erebuni Armenian Chorus of
    Greater Boston, P.O. Box 378, Belmont, MA 02478.
