The performance transported you into a world not your own, introducing you to the life and history of Armenian culture.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere was beautiful, and the music even more so. I certainly felt that my worldview changed for the better when I heard both the energetic, upbeat dance songs and the soulful, melancholic laments about a people displaced. Your emotions rose and fell with the mood of the music, which is only a testament to each musician\u2019s skill.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t experience anything so emotional, informative and fulfilling anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Jennifer Fowler.
