AGBU HONORS ANTRANIG DANCE ENSEMBLE AND FOUNDING MEMBER ARMENINE
SAPAH-GULIAN
New York, NY - On Friday, April 1st, 2005, AGBU is honoring AGBU
Antranig Armenian Dance Ensemble and one of its founding members,
Armenine Sapah-Gulian, with a dinner dance reception at the Rockleigh
Country Club (26 Paris Avenue, Rockleigh, NJ).
Under the Artistic Directorship of Joyce Tamesian-Shenloogian and
Choreographer Gagik Karapetian, Antranig Dance Ensemble commemorated
its 35th anniversary in June 2004 with a sold-out performance of its
current production, "Journey Through Dance," at New York's Alice Tully
Hall, Lincoln Center. Attracting an audience of over 1000, admirers
continue to be dazzled by Antranig's variety of regional dances,
vibrant folk costumes, and traditional choreography. The New York
debut of "Journey Through Dance" was the first of several planned
performances in New Jersey, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia, and around
the country.
In recognition of three-and-a-half decades of artistic excellence, the
upcoming AGBU function will serve to honor past Antranig dancers,
committee members, and supporters, and kick off its 2005 tour of
"Journey Through Dance."
In particular, AGBU will pay tribute to Armenine Sapah-Gulian for her
long-standing service to Antranig and her pivotal role in establishing
the dance group in 1969. Over the years, Sapah-Gulian has assumed key
leadership responsibilities with AGBU and the Ensemble as its longtime
advisor and tour manager.
For more information on the reception to honor Antranig and Armenine
Sapah-Gulian, please contact AGBU at (212) 319-6383, Ext. 128 ($70,
Begins at 7 p.m., RSVP by March 23rd).
