Film screening of "Echos of Kef Time" and discussion with director Avo John Kambourian.

Richard Hagopian, a legendary Armenian-American musician, pioneered one of the most fruitful genres of Armenian cultural folk music and the joyous, dance-filled events that his band was notorious for holding: Kef Time. But times change, and the once sold out shows faded into history. "Echoes of Kef Time" dives into Richard’s quest to pass on the music to his grandchildren, Phillip and Andrew, before it’s too late and tracks them against the rich cultural backdrop of the music and the community as they attempt to honor his legacy and revive the tradition for another generation of Armenian-Americans.
