French Cultural in Boston to host Armenian soirée
March 3, 2012 - 10:31 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian Library and Museum of America and the
French Cultural Center will hold an Armenian Soirée at the French
Cultural Center in Boston.
According to a press release, France and Armenia have been close for
centuries, despite their geographic distance. From the Armenian
alphabet Denis Diderot published in 1765, to numerous French
personalities of Armenian descent (singers Charles Aznavour and Sylvie
Vartan, film director Francis Veber, former prime minister Edouard
Balladur), the two cultures have shared a rich history.
In honor of this exchange, ALMA has teamed up with the French Cultural
Center to organize an Armenian soirée as part of 2012's Francophone
Celebration in New England.
This event will feature a one-night-only exhibition of the French
Cultural Center's collection of photographs by Yousuf Karsh and a
small traveling exhibit produced by ALMA, "Armenie, Mon Amie: The
French-Armenian Connection", which includes an original Armenian
alphabet from the French Encyclopedia and some beautiful examples of
Armenian laces.
Armenian hors-d'oeuvres and French wine will be served throughout the
evening along with musical entertainment.
