    Will take part in the Grand Opening of the Cafesjian Center for
    the Arts

    Yerevan - The Cafesjian Center for the Arts announced that on November
    8, Cynthia Lennon and Pattie Boyd - former wives of Beatles John Lennon
    and George Harrison - will visit Yerevan to take part in a series of
    special events marking the grand opening of the center. Lennon and
    Boyd will share the stage for the first time ever, and lend intimate
    insight into their husbands' extraordinary lives and music. A book
    signing of John by Cynthia Lennon and Wonderful Tonight by Pattie
    Boyd - who was also married to the blues musician Eric ­Clapton -
    will follow the interview.

    "The Beatles were the single most influential cultural phenomenon of
    the 20th century," Dr. Michael De Marsche, the executive director of
    the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, stated. "Their music was one of the
    first things to blast through the Iron Curtain, and for many people,
    especially the generation of the 1960s, the Beatles represent freedom."

    The interview will take place in the Center's new Special Events
    Auditorium. Lennon and Boyd will take the stage and answer questions
    from Dr. De Marsche. The afternoon will conclude with questions from
    the audience.

    An exhibition of Pattie Boyd's photography, titled, "Pattie Boyd:
    Yesterday and Today," will open November 8 and will be on view until
    January 31, 2010. The exhibition lends an intimate view into the
    lives of George Harrison, Eric Clapton, the Beatles, and Pattie Boyd
    herself. This unique collection of photographs, representing 40 years
    of work, has garnered attention from art critics internationally,
    and has toured two continents.

    The Grand Opening Celebration for the Cafesjian Center for the Arts
    will begin on the evening of November 7 with a spectacular fireworks
    display near the Cascade monument. The Cascade has been completely
    transformed into one of the world's outstanding contemporary art
    centers. The center had invited the public to view all the renovations
    that have taken place inside the Cascade and to enjoy an outstanding
    schedule of exhibitions, visiting lecturers, book-signings, concerts
    and events on Sunday, November 8.
