SHUSHI TOURS CANADA WITH GREAT SUCCESS
With tremendous enthusiasm, 51 members of the Shushi Armenian Dance Ensemble
of St. Vartan Cathedral, NY, under the direction and choreography of Seta
Paskalian-Kantardjian, were honored to participate in two special events
recently, in Canada. By invitation of AGBU Montreal Chairman Armen
Bechakjian, Shushi performed in a celebratory event, on April 12, marking
the 50th Anniversary of AGBU Montreal, at Vanier College, chaired by Boghos
Kichian. Shushi was then invited, by AGBU Toronto Chairman Eugene
Karadjian, to perform within a heartfelt program dedicated to the Armenian
Genocide, at the North York Performing Arts Centre, on April 13, an event
chaired by Executive Director Salpi Der Ghazarian. Both events featured
stellar performances by prominent musical director Andranik Mouradian, and
renowned singers Hovig Krikorian, Armen Hovannesyan, Salpi Mailian, Rima
Karapetyan, and Sosie Avakian Mardirossian, along with a moving, poetic
recitation by Noune Avetisyan. Post-performance cast parties, for the
artists and the participating Shushi members and their attending families,
were graciously hosted by both the Montreal and Toronto chapters. Captured
in the photograph is the finale of the Toronto performance, with the entire
cast, including featured artists who will accompany Shushi for its 15th
anniversary celebration on July 3rd at the Opera House, in Yerevan.
More detailed coverage of these events will be printed soon.
