Last weekend at St. John’s Armenian Church and the ACYOA celebrated history with a dance that featured some of the present day legends of Armenian folk music. Both Hachig Kazarian and Richard Hagopian adorned the stage with Michael Kazarian and Mal Barsamian.

One can not help but think about the past whenever you hear our village music played by such artists like Hachig and Richard. As a people watcher, it clearly moved some to tears and you could see and feel what they were thinking as they listened to an evening of folk music. Enjoy some short clips of music that I captured on my iPhone that evening.
