We are pleased to announce that Kev Orkian, the world’s most talented versatile entertainer, highly skilled pianist, comedian, singer and actor will be performing on the Armenian Heritage Cruise again on AHC XVIII in January 2015. We have had the honor to have Kev entertain us several times at the Armenian Heritage Cruise. Every time with a more impressive program.  Born in 1974 to Armenian parents, Kev Orkian comes from a long line of entertainers; His great grandparents were scriptwriters and introduced the first theatre show to Turkey in early 1900’s, whilst his grandparents all played numerous musical instruments and one of them was also an amateur comedian. Music came naturally to the young Kev. By the time he was 12 he had already composed his first pieces and by 15 had passes all eight piano grades gaining a Performers Diploma in Music.  At 15, after competing in many competitions and concerts, Kev decided to complete his training and move on to performing arts in Brunel University- earning himself a National Diploma in Performing Arts and Music in 1994.  Kev toured the world and performed in numerous variety shows including gala events for the Duke of Kent, Prince of Oman, Baroness Margaret Thatcher, Dame Vera Lynn and on different Cruise lines but never lost connection with his Armenian Heritage  Featuring: Onnik Dinkjian , John Berberian & Ensemble! Back again on Armenian Heritage Cruise XVIII 2015 the fabulous Onnik Dinkjian and John Berberian and ensemble will be onboard to entertain us.  Onnik Dinkjian was born in Paris, France in 1929. His parents were from Dikranagerd, now part of Turkey. He overcame the difficulties of being orphaned at a very early age by finding comfort and happiness singing, initially in the Armenian Church of Paris. Upon arriving in America in the late 1940’s, Onnik began performing at secular functions. He has toured many parts of the world throughout Eurpope, US, South America and recently Jerusalem. Onnik’s dynamic stage presence and soulful interpretation of music has distinguished him as the most sought after vocalist of traditional Armenian music today.  John Berberian is well known and highly acclaimed and he is considered to be one of the finest oud virtuosos in the world. John started his musical career as a symphony orchestras in New York City. However; the strong influence of his family and his love for Armenian music inspired him to pursue the oud exclusively. John has been noted as one of this generation most treasured Armenian folk musicians. Thousands of people have grown up on his music over his distinguished career as a recording artist and stage performer. We are proud once again to have him entertain us on Armenian Heritage Cruise XVIII 2015.    Musical Ensemble consists of, Ron Tutunjian , Steve Vosbikian Sr. Born and raised in Philadelphia took up the clarinet at the age of ten. Chris Marashlian Born and Raised in Newark NJ and Chris’s Bass Performances have been the pulse, heartbeat and foundation, to countless musical ensembles and recordings.    The Armenian Heritage Cruise can also be the conduit for all events on the MSC Divina without the hassle of managing these logistics.
