ARMENIAN A CAPPELLA
Belmont Citizen-Herald, MA
Sept 8 2005
An a cappella concert of Armenian folk songs performed by Zulal, an
Armenian folk trio, will be held on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 3 p.m. at the
Longy School of Music's Pickman Hall in Cambridge. The concert will
pay tribute to those who have lost lives through perpetrated tragedy.
"Zulal," meaning clarity, is a renowned a cappella trio whose original
arrangements evoke Armenia's folk roots while forging imaginative
harmonies that add a fresh energy to traditional repertoire. Formed
in 2002, Zulal has appeared in such venues as the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, the Museum of the
City of New York and Boston's Tsai Performance Center.
Zulal's performance at the Longy School of Music is presented
by the Cambridge-Yerevan Sister City Association which aims "to
foster friendship, mutual trust and dynamic interaction between
the peoples of Yerevan and Cambridge"; and Amaras Art Alliance, a
not-for-profit cultural organization based in Watertown, whose mission
is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and expressions between the
American and Armenian cultures.
Tickets for the Zulal concert are $20 ($15 students) and all proceeds
will be allocated to the Hovanness Badalian Music Fund established
by Amaras. The fund provides scholarships and grants worldwide to all
children, regardless of national origin, who are enrolled in Armenian
music programs.
