WATERTOWN, Mass.-In response to the plight of Syria's Armenian
communities, and to provide much-needed humanitarian assistance,
the Greater Boston community on Sat., April 20, will hold a Benefit
Concert for the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund (SARF).
The event-to begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Museum of our National
Heritage, 33 Marrett Rd., Lexington-will feature internationally
renowned artists and local arts and cultural organizations. Tenor
Yeghishe Manucharyan and his wife, mezzo-soprano Victoria Avetisyan
will perform during the "classical music" portion of the evening,
joining soprano Knarik Nerkararyan, violinist Levon Chilingirian, and
pianists Lilit Karapetian-Shougarian and Zaven Parsamian. The program
will also feature the world premiere of a work for violin and piano,
written for the occasion by Boston-based composer Ara Sarkissian.
Hamazkayin's Erebouni Dance Ensemble, the Sayat Nova Dance Company,
the Abaka School of Music's dance group, the Zangakner Performing Arts
Ensemble, as well as the Arev Armenian Ensemble will participate in
the folk part of the concert.
This spectacular concert will bring together the community in a
show of conscious support to our brothers and sisters in Syria. The
entire proceeds of the concert will be donated to the Syrian Armenian
Relief Fund.
Tickets for the event are $75 and $35. Seating is limited
and early reservation is strongly recommended by e-mailing
[email protected]. Tickets can also be purchased online by
visiting www.ItsMySeat.com.
The Syrian Armenian Relief Fund is a national initiative that aims
to provide immediate assistance to Syrian-Armenians. According to
the United Nations, more than 4 million people inside Syria are in
desperate need of aid. Some 2.5 million have been displaced by the
civil war but remain in Syria, while 70,000 have lost their lives.
About 850,000 are believed to have fled the country, including
an estimated 15,000 Armenians. Armenian communities and businesses
there have been severely affected. Churches and more than 150 private
residences have experienced either direct or indirect damage during
the fighting.
