21st Annual Armenian Genocide Commemorative Event

The City of Glendale held its 21st Annual Armenian Genocide Commemorative Event at The Alex Theatre on Sunday, April 24, 2022. For the first time in two years, the event was held in person for the community to experience a contemporary perspective on the horrific events of 1915 through music and dance. This year’s program showcased the work of Komitas through intricate dance and musical performances curated by The Lark Musical Society. Komitas was an Armenian priest, musicologist, composer, arranger, singer, and choirmaster who is considered the founder of the Armenian national school of music. His work ensured the preservation of Armenian culture through studying, recording, and harmonizing the folk and dance songs sung by Armenian peasants working in the fields on the outskirts of cities. The City of Glendale hopes this program will allow us to reflect upon the lives of the 1.5 million Armenian people who senselessly lost their lives in an act of genocide.
