Hello everybody! I will be a new logger at this site. I am 17 years old, born and living in New York. For many years I have spent my summer vacations in Yerevan, and like most people I fell in love with the city and lifestyle. And thanks to my mom for introducing me to this site, it is a great way to keep in touch with the current events around the world concerning Armenia. So let us begin with the events in New York. Performing at Carnegie Hall yesterday was Constantine Orbelian. He was conducting the orchestra to Aram Khachaturian's greatest works. Also making appearances were Dora Serviarian-Kuhn (pianist), who is considered the chief interpreter of Khachaturian's Piano Concerto, Marina Domashenko (mezzo-soprano) and the Yale Alumni Chorus. The Yale Alumni chorus is made of the Yale Glee club, as well as the alumni, which are approximately 100 singers total. Therefore, you can only imagine the emotion throughout the audience when Khachaturian began playing the Armenian National Anthem, while the Yale Alumni Chorus sang the verses. I am still in awe that they sang in Armenian. Good for them! There were also pieces from the Spartacus Ballet, famous old Armenian songs, and of course Surerov Para (Dance with Swords, better known as the Sabre Dance, from the Gayaneh Ballet). It was absolutely fantastic, I did not want to leave, and every time I heard a non-Armenian say what a wonderful composer Khachaturian was, I would begin to gloat, saying in my head he is one of us. :) Yah, I had a wonderful night! Alright everybody that is it for now, until next time. Take care. Buh byeeeee!
