New York, NY – With its ongoing commitment to Armenian culture, AGBU –
Antranik Youth Association (AYA) Lebanon hosted internationally
acclaimed duduk virtuoso Djivan Gasparyan in Beirut from November
25-27, 2004.
Similar to the success of the concerts hosted for renowned new age
musician Ara Gevorgian last May, the three Gasparyan performances were
sold-out with over 3000 spectators, including a special matinee show
for 1000 Armenian school students, attending.
The winner of four Gold Medals in UNESCO’s worldwide competitions,
Gasparyan mesmerized audiences with his program of original and
popular Armenian songs. As an added bonus, talented dancer Sophie
