Dear Friends of the Armenian Circle,

This Thursday at 4:45 pm in Pick Hall we will have the final Armenian Circle of the quarter, with a talk by Pietro Shakarian titled "Détente in the Western Reserve: Cyrus Eaton, Anastas Mikoyan, and the Visit That Rocked Cleveland, 1959"

Here is a brief description:

In Theatre and Performance in Eastern Europe: The Changing Scene (2008), Dennis Barnett and Arthur Skelton outline the ways in which the communist period was artistically and socially generative – despite heavy censorship and political constraints – as performers and audiences were able to develop a mutually understood symbolic code by which criticism of ruling authorities and statements of popular defiance could be communicated.

Life is full of joy and sorrow...and Georgian music expresses it best. Come hear an evening of unique music from a corner of the world that we love. This past spring we've had the opportunity to work with both the legendary Trio Kavkasia and the up-and-coming Gurian men's choir Adilei as they toured the US.
