French Cultural Center in Boston to host Armenian soiréeMarch 3, 2012 - 10:31 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian Library and Museum of America and the French Cultural Center will hold an Armenian Soirée at the French Cultural Center in Boston. According to a press release, France and Armenia have been close for centuries, despite their geographic distance. From the Armenian alphabet Denis Diderot published in 1765, to numerous French personalities of Armenian descent (singers Charles Aznavour and Sylvie Vartan, film director Francis Veber, former prime minister Edouard Balladur), the two cultures have shared a rich history. In honor of this exchange, ALMA has teamed up with the French Cultural Center to organize an Armenian soirée as part of 2012's Francophone Celebration in New England. This event will feature a one-night-only exhibition of the French Cultural Center's collection of photographs by Yousuf Karsh and a small traveling exhibit produced by ALMA, "Armenie, Mon Amie: The French-Armenian Connection", which includes an original Armenian alphabet from the French Encyclopedia and some beautiful examples of Armenian laces. Armenian hors-d'oeuvres and French wine will be served throughout the evening along with musical entertainment.   Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
