April 2015 marks the 100th commemoration of one of the darkest chapters of the 20th century: the Armenian Genocide. The Fresno Philharmonic pays tribute to the resiliency of the Armenian people and their culture, featuring Isabel Bayrakdarian, soprano; Catherine Manoukian, violin; and the world-premiere of Serouj Kradjian's 'Cantata for Living Martyrs.' Based on poetic texts of eyewitness testimonies, this powerful work traces a nation's vibrant life interrupted by immense cruelty, the aftermath of the tragedy, and the denial of the crime to this day. Includes performances by Fresno Master Chorale and Fresno State Concert Choir.
