Last Sunday, the Armenian church of Sourp Asdvadzadzin in Nicosia
was the venue for a heavenly Christmas concert. Participating were
the 15-member Chamber Choir "Polyfonia", directed by Maro Skordi,
the 8-member Guitar Ensemble "OKTO", directed by Demetris Regginos,
and organist Boris Alexandrov. For about 90 minutes, the Armenian house
of God was filled with heavenly melodies, songs and sounds, ranging
from the Cyprus carols, English songs and classical masterpieces to
traditional Latin, French, German and Spanish melodies.
The church bench were full of people of all ages, who with the help
of the music and the ecclesiastical environment were lifted up to
the skies.
Closing this article, I cannot but praise Vicky Kouyoumdjian's divine
soprano voice - a voice we adore listening during the Sunday Badarak
-, who finished the concert with a solo on Lour Kisher (the Armenian
version of "Silent Night"), to the surprise and joy of the Armenians
present!
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all: Shnorhavor nor
Dari yev Sourp Dzenount.
