The
month of October is the month celebrated as the month of
Armenian culture in the Diaspora, observing the history and
uniqueness of the Armenian language, traditional music and
dance, and much more. On October 9, 2009, Ferrahian celebrated
Armenian culture with a special assembly put together by the
Armenian Department, in which the whole school participated.
Masters of Ceremonies Zarouhi Abrahamian and Tania Kurbessoian
lead the assembly, which featured popular Armenian poetry,
music, and dance. A special slide show, which taught students
about Armenian cultural instruments and artists, was put
together by the school’s Middle School Armenian students. Onik
Alajajyan from 9th grade played the popular song, “La
Boheme,” by French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour.
As a
special performance, 12th graders Maral Aghvinian,
Angela Babadjanian, Ani Broutian, Vana Panossian, and Sevag
Touloumjian danced a beautiful Armenian national dance, which
they put together and rehearsed on their own. The audience was
very impressed by their performance.
This
year’s cultural celebration at Ferrahian was one to remember.
