    - A host of local and international artists will light up the night
    Nov. 1 to raise money for education.

    The "Love Armenia" benefit concert, put on by the Nor Serount Cultural
    Association of Pasadena, will bring together a bouquet of musicians
    and dancers at the First Church of the Nazarene.

    The cultural association, which celebrates Armenian culture and the
    arts, is trying to raise money for students in Armenia who may not
    have the chance to get a higher education.

    "A lot of Armenian students - they don't have the money to go to
    college, and we are trying to get money to help them pay for tuition,"
    said Vahe Atchabahian, an association member, who is helping put on
    the program.

    He has teamed with city activist Nat Nehdar and several musicians,
    singers and dancers to organize a concert with mass appeal, he said.

    Among featured artists will be international concert pianists Vatche
    Mankerian and Yin Yin Huang, recording artist Razmik Mansourian,
    and The Verdugo Youth Orchestra.

    The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the church, 3700 Sierra Madre
    Blvd. General admission is $20; seniors and students get in for
    $12. Children under 12 are free.
