    BACKGROUND INFORMATION:



    Complementing this year's diverse array of Armenian Genocide commemoration
    activities will be the second annual `Silence the Lies! Rock the
    Truth!'concert.
    Organized by a coalition of community organizations and artists, this social
    justice concert will be dedicated to raising awareness of the Armenian
    Genocide through music and activism. The groundbreaking concert, now in its
    second year will be held at the El Rey Theatre in the heart of Los Angeles
    on Saturday, April 24, 2010.



    Concert organizers shall donate proceeds of the concert to two very
    important organizations in need. The Armenian Relief Society's
    `Armenia-Artsakh Orphan Project,' <http://www.arswestusa.org/> and the
    `Bird's Nest Orphanage' in
    Lebanon<http://www.melkonian-foundation.org. uk/RPOBirdsNest.htm>,
    both provide vital support and assistance to needy Armenian children abroad.
    The artists and co-hosting parties have put this event together to not only
    honor the memories of the martyrs of 1915 but to also benefit the Armenian
    orphans.
