Iran is slated to hold the second Mahak Music Festival, to commemorate
the 70th birth anniversary of the renowned Loris Tjeknavorian.

The income from the charity festival, which will be held in the Mahak
Pediatric Cancer Hospital, will be used to launch the center’s bone
marrow implant ward.

Soloists from the Austrian Cultural Forum and Armenia’s Chamber
Orchestra will perform classical music pieces during the 8-day event
aimed at supporting children suffering from cancer.

The previous festival held in 2006 was conducted by the world famous
Armenian-Iranian composer and conductor Tjeknavorian.

The second Mahak Music Festival will be held from November 29th to
December 6th, 2007 in Tehran.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
