MUSIC: Arto Tuncboyaciyan, Alidz Agbabian to perform at Global Soul 2009

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Storyteller Alidz Agbabian and musician Arto Tuncboyaciyan will join artists from around the world on February 26, when Jewish World Watch (JWW) will host Global Soul, an evening of music, culture, and genocide awareness at the Skirball Cultural Center. The event will honor Rabbi M. Schulweis, co-founder of JWW, for his lifetime of activism and innovation, and will celebrate the accomplishments of JWW during its first five years.

"I am very happy to be presenting stories and songs from the Armenian oral tradition at Global Soul 2009," said Ms. Agbabian. "Listening to the messages of the other performers is very important for me. . . . What a great opportunity to experience our mutual humanity through art."

Since its inception, JWW has made great strides in mobilizing the Jewish community in Los Angeles as well as the public at large to crusade against genocide and human-rights violations throughout the world.

In addition, JWW has engaged in significant outreach to interfaith and ethnic communities in Los Angeles, including the Armenian and Cambodian communities. In partnership with the Armenian community of Los Angeles, JWW led the Jewish community to recognize the Armenian Genocide by hosting a Jewish-Armenian Shabbat Dinner and Service to observe the 92nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, in 2007.
