BERLIN, FEBRUARY 25, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. On March 1 the
Berlin Philharmonic Hall will host a concert of a newly formed choir
of the Armenian church and cultural community of Berlin. "We have
received an invitation from Berlin Philharmonic to participate in the
"Intercultural Dialogue" project and accepted it, since it is a good
way to get acquainted with other cultures," the spiritual leader of
the Armenian church and cultural community of Berlin and Northern
Germany, Archimandrite Yeghishe Avetisyan said.

According to him, the concert will feature the choirs of the Kurdish
and Assyrian communities of Germany. "We sing songs of Komitas and
we hope to expand our repertoire. The participation of Armenian
Navy Band’s soloist Arto Tuncboyaciyan is also likely, we will also
sing several songs together, but do not know yet in which language,"
head of the choir Seda Peshiktashlian told PanARMENIAN.Net.

“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
