Yerevan, November 3, 2011-On October 30, the Toronto affiliate of the
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund organized a concert at the "Hay kentron"
complex with Toronto area young musicians, dancers and singers,
with the slogan : "A CULTURAL BRIDGE, from Toronto to Shushi; from
the second best city in the world to the BEST ".
The programme included opera, classical, folk and jazz. According to
the Head of the Toronto chapter, Migirdich Migirdichian there were
21 musicians between the ages of 14 - 28 having graduated the Toronto
local conservatories who performed beautifully. "As I was watching the
show, I was saying to myself - imagine a concert at the Cultural centre
opening ceremony in Shushi: one young performer from Artsakh followed
by another from Toronto, and then another one from Artsakh followed by
Toronto and so on, and at the very end they all perform together. This
was a nice opportunity for young performers to be with Himnadram and
to contribute to the vital projects in Armenia and Artsakh personally."
There were some 400 people in the auditorium who raised .000 for the
Shushi Cultural centre renovation project.
The Toronto Chapter of Hayastan Fund has been functioning very
actively since its founding in 1992. To-date Toronto chapter has
realized 40 large and small projects primarily in Artsakh and also
some in Armenia. Amongst them are 5 brand new schools, 2 school
renovations, bringing water to 11 villages and towns, including to
Stepanakert and natural gas networks for 4 villages. The affiliate
currently has 4 projects on the go : re-building the Education and
Cultural Centre of Shushi, building the Community/Medical Centre of
Drakhtik village, renovation of Sourp Krikor Loussavoritch Hospital's
Nephrology (Kidney) department and the renovation of two floors of
