International Recording Artist, Daniel Decker, to sing in Times

Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Daniel is the lyricist for the
song ADANA.

Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) April 25, 2006 — Adolf Hitler is quoted as
saying, eight days before invading Poland in 1939, “Who today, after
all, speaks of the annihilation of the Armenians?” He was speaking
of being inspired by the 1915 genocide of 1.5 million Armenians
by the Ottoman Empire as he began his own systematic campaign of
destruction. Today, the Armenian genocide remains fresh and relevant
in the minds of Armenians around the world. American composer and
singer, DANIEL DECKER, seeks to help remind the world in an effort
to heal a nation, as well as build a bridge spanning time, history
and geography. His epic song “ADANA”, a collaboration with noted
Armenian composer Ara Gevorgian, recounts the tragic story of the
Armenian genocide, pairing Decker’s critically acclaimed lyrics with
Gevorgian’s rich musical landscape.

Decker will make a special appearance in Times Square, New York
City, April 23, 2006, 2 p.m. at the 21st Annual Armenian Genocide
Commemorative Program. Immediately following the performance, he will
leave for Sydney, Australia to perform in a special concert on April
29, 2006 with Ara Gevorgian and his 100 piece orchestra. “ADANA”
was first presented on April 23, 2005 in Yerevan, Armenia at the
official invitation of the Armenian Government to commemorate the
90th anniversary of the genocide at the Armenian genocide memorial
and was covered by news organizations around the world.

Said Decker, “I stand with the Armenian people are around the world on
this day to remember those whose lives were taken during the genocide
in the hopes that by telling the story, there will never be another
genocide.”
