ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE:

The Armenian Genocide (Armenian: Հայոց Ցեղասպանություն Hayots Tseghaspanutyun) also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, traditionally by Armenians, as Medz Yeghern (Armenian: Մեծ Եղեռն, "Great Crime") was the Ottoman government's systematic extermination of its minority Armenian subjects from their historic homeland within the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey. The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915, the day Ottoman authorities rounded up and arrested some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople. The genocide was carried out during and after World War I and implemented in two phases: the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labour, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly and infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian desert. Driven forward by military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre. The total number of people killed as a result has been estimated at between 1 and 1.5 million. Other indigenous and Christian ethnic groups such as the Assyrians and the Ottoman Greeks were similarly targeted for extermination by the Ottoman government, and their treatment is considered by many historians to be part of the same genocidal policy. The majority of Armenian diaspora communities around the world came into being as a direct result of the genocide.

Event: Oror/Lullaby Armenian Music Commemorative Concert

7pm to 8pm

location: Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC

1047 Amsterdam Avenue at 112th St, New York, New York 10025

Perspectives Ensemble, with the cooperation of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC, The Reverend James Kowalski, Dean, and Kent Tritle, Director of Cathedral Music, presents a one-hour concert of Armenian classical and village music and sharagans (hymns) in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The concert celebrates the beauty and endurance of Armenian culture.

Featured artists include Zulal A Cappella Trio with Teni Apelian, Yeraz Meschian, and Anais Tekerian, harpist Alyssa Reit, and flutist and Artistic Director of Perspectives Ensemble, Sato Moughalian. The concert is in the St. James Chapel of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, 1047 Amsterdam Ave. at West 112th Street. Admission is free.

The concert also marks the release of Perspectives Recordings' second CD: Oror/Lullaby Armenian Music CD for flute and harp, and is dedicated to the memory of all those who have "fallen asleep."

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. Zulal’s singers have been singing together since 2002. The trio celebrates the trials and joys of old Armenian village life: 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 program is made possible by the generous support of the Daniele Doctorow Prize for Music, the Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation, the Hegardt Foundation, and the support of Perspectives Ensemble's many friends.
