    HAMAZKAYIN TO STAGE "MUSIC FROM ARMENIA" FOR CELLO AND PIANO

    19:40, 4 March, 2015

    GLENDALE, MARCH 4, ARMENPRESS: The Hamazkayin Music Committee members
    would like to urge you not miss a unique, exquisite concert they are
    presenting called "Music from Armenia". Dedicated to the Centennial of
    the Armenian Genocide, it will take place on Sunday, March 15 at the
    Glendale Presbyterian Church, reports Armenpress referring to Asbarez.

    As Armenian communities around the world continue to seek healing and
    reparation for their tragedy and losses, this event is yet another
    way to comfort our souls and strengthen our spirit.

    The Canadian duo of pianist Patil Harboyan and cellist Heather Tuach
    will perform works by Armenian composers Alexander Arutiunian, Arno
    Babajanian, Haro Stepanian and Komitas. The works to be presented in
    the program are recorded in their CD, recently released by Divine
    Art Records in England, and is called "Music from Armenia". This
    publication received great reviews and generated wonderful enthusiasm
    amongst both Armenian and non-Armenian musical societies. It helped
    the acknowledgement and the showcasing of great Armenian music.

    Recipient of two Canada Council for the Arts grants and a grant
    from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec, Patil Harboyan
    was awarded first prizes at the Margo Babikian Piano competition,
    the Armenian Allied Arts Association and also won recognition at the
    Southwestern Youth Music Festival in California. In 2004, she won
    first prize at the Trois-Rivières Symphony Competition, along with
    the Radio-Canada Prize.

    Harboyan attended the prestigious R.D. Colburn School of Performing
    Arts in Los Angeles, and was a recipient of a Philiban Scholarship.

    She holds a Doctorate in Musical Arts from Stonybrook University, where
    she studied with Gilbert Kalish on a full scholarship. Her previous
    teachers include Richard Raymond, Marc Durand and Jean Saulnier.
