PanARMENIAN.Net - Young Armenian singer from Turkey, Sibil, will make
her debut in the New York Metropolitan Area on March 31.
According to The Armenian Mirror-Spectator, she will perform at the
Bergen County Academies in Hackensack. The evening is being sponsored
by Constantinople Armenian Relief Society (CARS). Co-chairs of the
event are Tamar Kayserian and Hilda Nisanyan.
"It is a major undertaking that requires a lot of organization and
planning. That evening, Sibil will be accompanied on stage by musicians
both from Turkey and the United States. Members of the Shushi Dance
Ensemble will also appear on the stage to interpret the songs through
dance and to enrich the evening's program," said Kayserian, president
of CARS. "Bergen County Academies' Auditorium has 1,192 seats and we
are confident that we will have a sold-out evening."
Sibil was born in Istanbul with a family name that was changed from
Torosyan to Pektorosoglu. She was named after the well-known Armenian
writer Zabelle Asadour, whose penname was Sibil. Her father, Garbis,
a goldsmith, was born in Istanbul while her mother, Mari, has a
Sepastatsi/Tokatsi background.
The first music notes that Sibil was exposed to were the prayers
and hymns of the Armenian Church, since her father would take her to
church every Sunday morning as a child. Her talent and love for music
were discovered by her parents when Sibil would come home and sing
and recite the prayers she had just heard during the church services.
