  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

    Armenian Orchestral Music Tigran Arakelyan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: David Alexander Rahbee, Chair JoAnn Taricani Timothy Salzman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2016 Tigran Arakelyan University of Washington Abstract Armenian Orchestral Music Tigran Arakelyan Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. David Alexander Rahbee School of Music The goal of this dissertation is to make available all relevant information about orchestral music by Armenian composers—including composers of Armenian descent—as well as the history pertaining to these composers and their works. This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled

    DIY Manual Civil society organizations (CSOs) such as ISOC Armenia Chapter are playing a great role in helping vulnerable groups by tending their needs, supplying equipment and providing various support services during the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, they substitute government services and responsibilities. CSOs should identify groups of the population and organizations that are most vulnerable and need help. We identified the following vulnerable groups in Armenia for our help: 1. Elderly people, and pensioners living on minimum state pensions 2. Disabled people, including blinds and visually impaired 3. Retired engineers 4. Former athletes Our goal is to train them in computer and Internet literacy, basics of small business and social media marketing. We want to give them the skills necessary to earn some money to support their lives. As an example, we are developing simple digitization application that will help to digitize documents. Due to the simplicity of the application it can be an instrument in the hands of vulnerable groups and will help them to earn some money by digitization of huge archives of paper documents. There can be other instruments of such kind. During the COVID-19 the vulnerable groups need more money for medicine, nutrition, online ordering of items. So, we should give them the possibility to earn additional money to support themselves. Development of such applications and providing skills to the vulnerable groups might help them to survive. Another field of our concern are rural schools and libraries We are helping rural schools by providing them computers. Being very limited in resources we purchase used computers often not operational, bring them in order, supply missing parts and install software.
