    On Sunday 28th April 2013 at 6.30 pm a Symposium and and Evening of

    Of special interest is that the renowned choral group, the Charlotta

    and Prayer to mark the Chorale's and its Director and Conductor Eli

    people. They will present a number of pieces. Fr. Koosan Aljanian of the

    appropriate pieces, from the Liturgy and by Komitas, respectively.
