KRASNODAR, JUNE 19, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The "Hamshen"
folk ensemble of Armenian music, song and dance of the Center of
National Cultures of the settlement of Lazarevski, city of Sochi,
received grand prix in the Folk Dance nomination at the festival
held in Sochi within the framework of the Sea Breeze National Contest
of Young Talents. The festival was held by the "Children of Russia"
fund for support to development of children's creation, and performers
and creative collectives from many regions of Russian Federation took
part in it.
According to the Yerkramas (Territory) newspaper of Armenians of
Russia, the Hamshen ensemble performed dance "Berd" ("Fortress")
and a pot-pourri from folk dances of Armenians of Hamshen (Armenians
of Hamshen came from the region of Hamshen in the territory of the
historic Armenia, currently in Turkey).
As Honored Worker of Culture of RF Vitali Postnikov, principal
ballet-master of the State Philharmony of Vologodski region, chairman
of festival's jury, mentioned, "Hamshen" was the only group that
presented folk dance at the professional level. Besides the Winner Cup,
the "Hamshen" ensemble was given a special diploma for preservation
of national traditions and a valuable present.
The "Hamshen" ensemble cannot take part in the "One Nation - One
Culture" Second All Armenian Festival of Culture though it had applied
for participation earlier. The reason is that no funds were found in
the Krasnodar territory for financing the tour of the young artists
to this festival.
