Speaker: Ara Dinkjian (Armenian-American musician and founder of the band Night Ark)
Moderator: Dr. Elyse Semerdjian (Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair of Armenian Genocide Studies)
Ara Dinkjian will discuss early recordings of well-known Armenian songs, play recordings made more than 100 years ago, and share historic photographs. As a result of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, the newly-arrived Armenians in America created a new music, rooted in their cultural homeland, but shaped by their adopted country.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Professor in Armenian Genocide Studies
