ABAKA Armenian School for the Performing Arts was founded in 1995 with a very simple mission: to enrich the Armenian cultural life of youngsters in our community, creating a small corner of Armenia in America. Abaka provides an outlet for young Armenians to discover and bring forth their hidden and valuable talents, thus contributing to the future betterment of Armenian cultural life.
