Loris Tjeknavorian and Edward Manukyan at AGBU Hye Geen Conference

These amateur videos were taken by YouTube user LonelyAragats at this past weekend's AGBU Hye Geen Conference at the California State University, Northridge (March 12, 2011).

Titled "Music as a Mirror," the conference was about how music reflects the changing social realities of diasporan Armenian communities.

This small portion includes talks and discussions by former Armenian Philharmonic composer Loris Tjeknavorian, Edward Manukyan, oud player and composer Andrew Kzirian and composer Erik Hachikian discussing the Armenian Genocide and other issues.
