    'YERAZNERI ART' MAKES DREAMS COME TRUE

    Azg/arm
    22 July 05

    The fact that Raffi Festekchian neither sings nor plays any musical
    instrument was no obstacle for him and his friend Nubar Sfeyan,
    entrepreneur, to establish "Yerazneri Art" non-profit organization.
    The aim of the organization is to help young Armenian musicians
    perform their art.

    Informing about this, Dafni Abil, deputy editor of the Armenian Mirror
    Spectator, added that Raffi Festekchian is the manager of a computer
    program company located in the center of Boston, while Nubar Sfeyan is
    the establisher of "Armenia 2020" company. They pay special attention
    to the students of the Armenian musical schools at the age of 8-18.

    "Once a year we leave for Armenia and visit musical schools,
    choosing the children personally. We also cooperate with the "New
    Names." They carry out the first hearings. At present, we work
    with 40 children," they told during the interview, adding that they
    sometimes help continue the education of such talented children that
    had to leave the musical schools due to hard economic conditions or
    other circumstances. They help the young musicians complete their
    education, then they find sponsors to help them perform in Russia,
    in Middle Asia, in Europe and in America. "When they performed a
    concert at the Boston Conservatoire, everybody was astonished. They
    all admired their musical abilities, their talent," they said.

    Raffi is an engineer. He graduated from the Beirut American
    University. "We want to enlarge our activities and help the young
    Armenian painter too," Raffi Festekchian said in the interview.
