Feb. 11--EDWARDSVILLE -- In Armenian, Zulal means "clear water."
Zulal, the a cappella trio, takes Armenia's village folk melodies and
weaves intricate arrangements that pay tribute to the rural roots of
the music while introducing a sophisticated lyricism and energy. The
folk trio performs at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15, at the Wildey Theatre
in Edwardsville.
Zulal's singers -- Teni Apelian, Yeraz Markarian and Anaïs Tekerian --
have been singing together since 2002. The trio has performed in such
esteemed venues as the Getty Museum, Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital
Hall, The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage and New York's Symphony
Space, along with performances for Cirque du Soleil and the Silk
Road Project.
Zulal has scored the film "Stone Touch Time" and has two critically
acclaimed albums to its credit. The trio celebrates the trials and
joys of old Armenian village life, which include: budding romances
in elevated gardens, the disappointments of hapless suitors, secret
messages placed upon the western winds, the moonlit faces of shepherd
boys and their brides. These are the searing impressions of the past
that come to life in Zulal's arrangements, reminders of a simpler past,
tokens of comfort in the complex, modern world.
The concert is sponsored by the Granite City Reubena chapter of the
Armenian Relief Society, in conjunction with the local Armenian Youth
Federation and Armenian Relief Society chapters.
Adult admission cost $30 and children age 16 and younger admission
cost $20.
