    Students Step into a Rich Cultural Week just before Final Exams



    Beirut, 20/06/2008- A week prior to the final examinations, Haigazian
    University students performed a series of cultural activities, from a
    stage dance performance, to a painting exhibition, to a classical music
    audition, thus proving once again that art is the remedy of the mind
    soul and body.

    The week started with a stage dance performance, entitled ''Steps''.
    Students offered a unique medley of traditional and modern dances, such
    as, salsa, Rumba, samba, tango, waltz, jazz, hip-hop, oriental dance,
    dabke and Armenian folk dance. ''Falming Hearts! That is what you will
    find on stage tonight! Students who committed their time and energy into
    a passion'', said Peggy Bedoyan, Students Resources Coordinator.

    The 4th annual student art exhibition opened with thirteen students
    displaying around thirty oil paintings. This year's subjects and styles
    of painting were music, still life and abstract. People playing musical
    instruments were very impressive, as well as the fruit and vegetables
    presented in the still life paintings. Students' Art Advisor, Raffi
    Yedalian, appreciated the new artworks, and the noticeable advancement
    of the students, year after year. Artist Rosevart Sisserian was
    acknowledged on the opening day.

    The Classical Music Club, under the supervision of Registrar Roubina
    Artinian, performed a rich mix of chamber music pieces, of world
    renowned composers such as, Chopin, Handel, Amirkhanian, Bach, Debussy
    and Khatchadourian. Most of the performers are students in the National
    Lebanese Conservatory, pursuing a dual degree in Music.

    After last May's political turmoil in Beirut, and right before their
    final examinations, Haigazian University students once again expressed
    of their will and determination towards accomplishment, positive
    thinking and art appreciation.
