State Dance Ensemble of Armenia set for 50th-anniversary performances
worldwide
Series to kick off with gala event in Yerevan,
featuring renowned guest troupes
Yerevan ` The famed State Dance Ensemble of Armenia is turning 50 this
year. To celebrate the milestone, both in Armenia and internationally,
the troupe is planning a series of special performances throughout the
globe, announced Eric Chanchurian, artistic director of the
ensemble. The 50th-anniversary events will kick off with a gala in
Yerevan, slated to take place in early April.
`For five decades, the State Dance Ensemble of Armenia has thrived
here at home and internationally, not only as a world-class dance
troupe, but a cultural institution for all Armenians,' Chanchurian
said.
`In terms of repertoire, the company has always been at the forefront
of bringing Armenian folk traditions into the modern dance lexicon `
through research, cutting-edge choreography, and fresh musical
arrangements,' Chanchurian continued. `In the Soviet era, when links
between Armenia and the diaspora were not as abundant as today, the
ensemble functioned as an important cultural bridge, by touring in
Armenian communities throughout the globe. Simultaneously, the company
garnered acclaim from the international press and audiences, as it
performed in many of the world's most prestigious venues. Today, as we
work in an independent Armenia, and while the bonds between homeland
and diaspora are stronger than ever, the State Dance Ensemble
continues to grow, building on a legacy of artistic excellence.'
Following the April event in Yerevan, the State Dance Ensemble of
Armenia plans to tour in Armenian communities across the
globe. Possible stops include New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Fresno,
San Francisco, and several cities in Europe, the Middle East, and
Australia.
Currently the troupe is seeking corporate and private sponsors to help
offset the costs of the planned performances in 2009. `I think these
events give sponsors the chance to take part in a wonderful cultural
endeavor,' Chanchurian noted. `Our 50th-anniversary appearances are
sure to enchant diaspora and international audiences, and also help
affirm the Armenian people's friendship with a multitude of nations,
through the universal language of dance and music.'
Speaking of possible event sponsors, Chanchurian said the State Dance
Ensemble is aiming to collaborate with a variety of supporters
including governments, embassies, international arts agencies, and
corporations, as well as diaspora foundations and individual
benefactors.
