On Sunday, November 24, a special program of music and poetry dedicated to Gomidas, “Father of Modern Armenian Music”, was held at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in downtown Los Angeles. The event, titled “The Ever-Ringing Belfry”, was organized by the Committee for Armenian Students in Public Schools (CASPS) and the program was performed by the Lark Musical Society.
The Prelate attended the concert, accompanied by Rev. Fr. Boghos Tinkjian. Executive Council Mrs. Rima Boghossian and members Mr. George Chorbajian and Dr. Dikran Babikian were also in attendance.
