    Recording Artist Daniel Decker to Sing at Genocide Memorial

    Emediawire (press release), WA
    April 20 2006

    International Recording Artist, Daniel Decker, to sing in Times
    Square, Sunday April 23, 2006, 2-4 p.m. In commemoration of the 91st
    Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Daniel is the lyricist for the
    song ADANA.

    Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) April 25, 2006 -- Adolf Hitler is quoted as
    saying, eight days before invading Poland in 1939, "Who today, after
    all, speaks of the annihilation of the Armenians?" He was speaking
    of being inspired by the 1915 genocide of 1.5 million Armenians
    by the Ottoman Empire as he began his own systematic campaign of
    destruction. Today, the Armenian genocide remains fresh and relevant
    in the minds of Armenians around the world. American composer and
    singer, DANIEL DECKER, seeks to help remind the world in an effort
    to heal a nation, as well as build a bridge spanning time, history
    and geography. His epic song "ADANA", a collaboration with noted
    Armenian composer Ara Gevorgian, recounts the tragic story of the
    Armenian genocide, pairing Decker's critically acclaimed lyrics with
    Gevorgian's rich musical landscape.

    Decker will make a special appearance in Times Square, New York
    City, April 23, 2006, 2 p.m. at the 21st Annual Armenian Genocide
    Commemorative Program. Immediately following the performance, he will
    leave for Sydney, Australia to perform in a special concert on April
    29, 2006 with Ara Gevorgian and his 100 piece orchestra. "ADANA"
    was first presented on April 23, 2005 in Yerevan, Armenia at the
    official invitation of the Armenian Government to commemorate the
    90th anniversary of the genocide at the Armenian genocide memorial
    and was covered by news organizations around the world.

    Said Decker, "I stand with the Armenian people are around the world on
    this day to remember those whose lives were taken during the genocide
    in the hopes that by telling the story, there will never be another
    genocide."
