One way would be to do what Dr. Abraham Terian has done throughout his life. As an expert on ancient translation, he has done his fair share of bringing the old back to life. Not only has he had experience in field-work, but he has also passed on his vast knowledge to many students, as a professor for over 30 years. This spring he is sharing his knowledge with students at Fresno State as the eighth Henry S. Khanzadian Kazan Visiting Professor in Armenian Studies. The Kazan Visiting Professor teaches a single class on modern Armenian history or literature, with an emphasis on the Armenian Genocide. This semester, students in Dr. Terian's Monday night class are learning about Armenian Literature and the Genocide. The course concentrates on the Armenian literature of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with special focus on post-Genocide literature, both in Armenian and English. Dr. Terian will also deliver three public lectures related to theArmenian Genocide, under the general tide of "In the Darkness of the Genocide." Buried in the dark and long shadows of the Armenian Genocide are certain issues that should not be forgotten as the struggle against denial and for recognition of the Genocide continues. The lectures address these issues that should bringadded awareness and inspire activism as the see Terian page 6 California State University, Fresno Armenian Studies Program Cordially invites you to its 22nd Annual Banquet featuring the United States premiere of the film "William Saroyan's Will" (A film on Saroyan's life, using rare archival footage and interviews) The recipients of Armenian Studies Minors and Scholarships will be recognized.

This special presentation was co-sponsored by the Keyboard Concert Series and held in the Concert Hall at Fresno State. The large turnout on a rainy evening was an indication of how popular and well-respected the two artists are. The duet performance by Mardirossian and Chaushian was a wonderful event. The two musicians had been childhood friends in Armenia, and renewed their friendship after many years. These two talented artists presented a beautiful and peaceful performance, which was appreciated by the audience. Their first piece was Alexander Borodin's Sonata in B Minor, rich in harmonies and an excellent vehicle for Chaushian to exhibit his skill on the cello. They continued the evening with a Sonata in D Cellist Alexander Chaushian, foreground, with pianist Vahan Mardirossian performing at the February 26 duet concert. Minor Op. 40, by Dmitri Shostakovich. The energetic Sonata is one of his earlier works and features unusual musical twists. The close relationship between the artists could be seen in the way that they communicated with each other, sometimes with a simple glance or movement of the eye. After the intermission they concluded their performance with a powerful musical piece, Sonata in A Major, by Cesar Franck. Chaushian brought passion to his performance, capturing the audience with his beautifully played passages. Keyboard Concert Director Andreas Werz called the concert "a fantastic success."
