WALLA WALLA -- An ensemble of musicians will host a noon workshop
Friday at Whitman College before showcasing traditional Armenian
music in a perfomance at 7:30 p.m. in Olin Hall Room 130.
#The Mark Gavoor Ensemble is comprised of professional musicians from
Boston, Chicago and Detroit, and will perform in a program called
"From Ararat to America: 100 Years of Traditional Armenian and Middle
Eastern Music".
#Modern Armenian music has been heavily influenced by the Armenian
genocide of 1915. Many Armenians fled to the U.S. and brought
traditional Armenian, Kurdish and Turkish folk music with them, which
was passed down through generations as a way of staying connected to
their homeland.
#In their noon workshop, ensemble members will provide background
about the selections they perform and the origins and styles of Middle
Eastern music.
