COST: $20; CONTACT: Abril Bookstore; (818) 243-4112

SAYAT NOVA’S ETERNAL ROSE will be a musical evening with the Kerovpyan Trio from the Kotchnak Ensemble featuring vocalist Virginia Pattie Kerovpyan, kanounist Aram Kerovpyan and percussionist Vahan Kerovpyan. The ensemble formed in 1980 in Paris and specializes in Armenian folk and troubadour music. Each performance is a unique experience in that they follow the tradition of perpetual recreation by means of improvisation. Sayat Nova (1722-1795) was a musician and poet at the Georgian court who later became a priest. He was one of the rare ashough-troubadours whose poems have reached us. Of the numerous poems copied in his notebook, only 27 have melodies today, having survived through the oral tradition.
