Musicians, artists and community leaders from across the globe will
gather to pay tribute to one of the world's greatest musicians and
entertainers - Charles Aznavour - in a star-studded event to take
place at the exquisite Cipriani Wall Street on May 20.
The evening will serve as an opportunity to highlight not only
Aznavour's talents, but his decades-long service to Armenia on the eve
of the republic's 20th anniversary of independence.
Presenting the award to Aznavour will be the famous actress/singer
Liza Minnelli, whose friendship with him dates back almost 50 years.
Seeing Aznavour perform on stage for the first time was "magnetic" for
Minnelli. "The minute he walked onstage, I stopped breathing," she
said.
The event will feature guest of honor, Armenia's Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian. The evening's proceeds will benefit the
disadvantaged elderly people of Armenia, including the Vanadzor Old
Age Home in Armenia, a loving, nurturing refuge for older Armenians
who have no other means of support. The Vanadzor Home was started by
Aznavour, who personally requested Fund for Armenian Relief to assume
responsibility for its upkeep and operation.
