LA to host M Club Music Video Awards and Armenian Music Awards

Legendary French-Armenian superstar Charles Aznavour will be among the more than 100 Armenian music stars being honored on Sunday, December 13, during the star-studded M Club Music Video Awards and Armenian Music Awards show.

For the first time in Armenian entertainment history, the 7,100-seat Nokia Theatre at L.A. LIVE will be ground zero for the joint Armenian music and video awards show – a spectacular event that will raise the bar for all future Armenian award and entertainment shows.

Resources from two US-based production companies and three international, local, and Armenian television networks are being synergized to present to attendees the most fascinating nominees from various genres and categories including the most popular and most critically-acclaimed Armenian singers, musicians, albums, and music videos.

Producers Sevak Petrossian and Arthut Kokozian will be bringing the 3rd Annual M Club Music Video Awards and 10 Annual Armenian Music Awards together this year to one stage on the same time.

This is a first combination of both these popular awards shows, which have previously been held at such venues as the Kodak Theatre in the heart of Hollywood and the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City.

In addition to Aznavour being awards for a lifetime of achievements, daughter Seta Aznavour is scheduled to perform along with other popular acts like VISA, Element Band, and Reincarnation. Global rock star Serj Tankian’s father will also perform, and he is said to be bringing with him a special guest. The special guest, perhaps Tankian himself wants to keep his appearance a mystery until the night of the show on December 13.

Armenian divas Nune Yesayan and Shushan Petrosyan, local favorites Karnig Sarkissian and Harut Pamboukjian, and global sensations Arto Tuncboyaciyan from the Armenian Navy Band will come together as well.

A huge and unexpected treat will be a special performance by Russian superstar Irina Allegrova, who also has a surprise for the Nokia audience.
