LONDON, Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The great Spanish soprano, Montserrat Cabballé, who died in 2018, recorded her farewell album following a visit to Armenia and Artsakh to pay tribute to the historic and cultural heritage of the first Christian nation in the world. The album, The Island of Christianity: Armenia and Artsakh, with contributions from Vangelis and Brian May, was originally available on limited release. It will be released on December 8th 2020 by Starmus, the global festival of science communication.

Montserrat Caballé visited Armenia and Artsakh in 2013 and 2014, an experience that inspired what would become her last album.  The album The Island of Christianity: Armenia and Artsakh included contributions from Vangelis and Brian May of Queen, along with two emblematic Armenian songs, Krunk and Chinar es.

On her pilgrimage to the sacred sites of Armenia, Caballé paid homage to the 1700th anniversary of the adoption of Christianity as state religion in Armenia. Many videos of the album are dedicated to the ancient Christian cathedrals and monasteries of Armenia and Artsakh, such as the 10th century monastery Dadivank which has been founded by the direct disciple of Jude the Apostle in the 1st century, Amaras (338 AD), St. Etchmiadzin (385 AD) etc.

The magical Armenian duduk can be heard in Krunk, Chinar es and La Habanera, conveying them a special atmosphere and charm. Both Montserrat Caballé and Vangelis are great fans of this traditional Armenian musical instrument. As for Brian May, the rock star has performed a theme from Hans Zimmer’s Gladiator with the Armenian duduk Maestro Jivan Gasparyan at 46664 in Tromso in 2005.

Six years after her pilgrimage to the cradle of Christianity, Montserrat Caballé’s last album comes back. Starmus, the global festival of science and art, will present this exclusive album on December 8th in La Palma, Canary Islands.

About Montserrat Caballé

Montserrat Caballé was one of the most acclaimed opera singers of the world. A winner of multiple international awards including Grammy, and for her wide international recognition and outstanding contribution to various genres of world music, she was a Peace Ambassador of United Nations and Goodwill Ambassador of UNESCO.

CANTON, Mass., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — School of Rock, the leader in performance-based music education, continues to expand internationally and has awarded a new master franchise agreement in Taiwan. This marks the 15th country open or in development for School of Rock, supports a growing demand for the franchise in Asia, and signals the brand’s larger international development strategy as the premier music education brand around the world.

SOR Taiwan Company LTD, the master franchisee in Taiwan, will open 20 locations across the country over the next 10 years. The first school is set to open in Taichung City, one of the largest cities in Taiwan, in March of 2021.

«School of Rock thrives internationally because of the universal appeal of music education and personal development. We are thrilled that our global community will now extend to Taiwan – a market bursting with creative energy,» said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. «This is an incredibly exciting time to be part of School of Rock as we accelerate international development and strive to inspire tens of thousands more aspiring musicians across the world.»

There are currently 276 School of Rock locations open and operating across 10 countries including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Philippines and Paraguay.

«We are excited to be bringing such a unique and fun concept to Taiwan,» said John Caraccio, the owner of SOR Taiwan Company LTD, who has 20 years of experience in developing retail stores across the island. «While most Taiwanese children learn either violin or piano, there is no system available for learning to perform with other kids, or to perform pop music and rock songs that they actually enjoy. They will soon have that opportunity as we hope to open School of Rock locations across the island.»   

School of Rock provides students of all ages an exciting and engaging learning environment for taking guitar lessons, drum lessons, bass lessons, keyboard lessons, and singing lessons. Drawing from all styles of rock and roll, School of Rock students learn theory and techniques via songs from legendary artists such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Frank Zappa. Thanks to the school’s performance-based approach, students around the world have gained superior instrumental skills and confidence on the big stage, with some moving on to record deals and larger platforms such as American Idol, The Voice and Broadway.

MIAMI, Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — StarKist Co., a socially responsible company that empowers people to live a healthy lifestyle, is partnering with Feed the Children and Joshua’s Heart to bring No Hunger Holidays to 400 Miami families during the season of giving. 

The drive-thru event will be held Monday, December 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, 11591 SW 220th St. During the event, each family will receive a 25-pound box of food, including StarKist products; a 15-pound box of essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, lotion and personal-care items; a box of Avon products and Disney storybooks and other items. Miami-Dade County will also be providing fresh food for families.

«At StarKist, we are grateful for our ongoing partnership with Feed the Children during this unprecedented time,» said Andrew Choe, StarKist President and CEO. «There will be more empty plates this holiday season than ever before, and it is estimated that one in four children will be food insecure. We believe that no child should go hungry in this country, but we know the need is great.  We’ve all seen the effect COVID-19 has had on communities, and together we hope to help those in need, especially during this pandemic.» 

Throughout the past 11 years, StarKist has contributed nearly 500,000 pounds of tuna and chicken products to help food-insecure children and families across the U.S., and more than $600,000 to support Feed the Children’s disaster and emergency response efforts.

Feed the Children, a leading nonprofit focused on alleviating childhood hunger, is holding its annual No Hunger Holidays campaign in order to bring awareness to the important issue of childhood hunger, as well as provide hope and joy to thousands of vulnerable families across the United States throughout the holiday season.

With nearly 16% of Miami residents living below the poverty line, holidays can be a stressful time for families.

«Thanks to our generous partners at StarKist, we are able to help these families rest a little easier knowing they don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from this holiday season,» said Travis Arnold, Feed the Children president and CEO. «We know that when we combine our efforts, we have a greater impact on the lives of the families who need us most.»

TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honda has launched an enhanced sales portal to include non-certified used vehicles on HondaCertified.com as the latest step in the brand’s effort to simplify the shopping and vehicle purchasing process for first-time buyers. This initiative makes Honda the first mass-market brand to offer non-certified pre-owned vehicles for sale on its own website. Rising new-vehicle transaction prices make used and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles an increasingly important entry point to vehicle ownership for both young and first-time buyers. Honda’s comprehensive approach provides customers more online shopping options when looking for pre-owned Honda vehicles.

Honda Launches Pre-Owned Initiative, Adding Used-Vehicle Inventory to HondaCertified.com

As with CPO vehicles, used Honda vehicles offered on HondaCertified.com will have recalls addressed by Honda dealer service experts prior to sale.

«With the continued rise in new-vehicle prices, the first vehicle purchase for many buyers will come from the used-car market, and our upgraded website makes this process more simple and enjoyable,» said Dan Rodriguez, manager of auto remarketing at American Honda. «As a leading brand among first-time and younger buyers, expanding our branded website to include used vehicles up to ten years old offers customers more high value options with quality Honda products and their local Honda dealer standing behind their purchase.»

Honda will add features to this used-vehicle initiative in the months ahead, aligned with the brand’s Shop Simple by Honda online buying tool, enabling customers to complete most of the purchase process of Honda pre-owned vehicles in a digital fashion.

More information on Honda’s used-vehicle offerings and existing Honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles can be found at HondaCertified.com.

HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Antídoto de Dios para la Raíz de Amargura was created by Ranulfo San Juan Reyes. Ranulfo San Juan Reyes is an author who plays professional Lucha Libre. He also worked for the government and is studying theology at LOGOS University to get to the theological doctorate.

Ranulfo San Juan Reyes said this about his book: «This is written by Ranulfo San Juan Reyes especially for all ages, races, and parents since in most homes, it is the children who suffer. They are victims. As this writer tells us, he suffered as a child and even as a grown-up with this bitterness until he received God’s medicine, which changed his life. When there are lawsuits, separations from parents, divorces, prostitution, alcoholism, and drug addiction in the homes, the little ones suffer from love and go to the streets in search of affection. What they find are gang members who involve them in their gangs. They induce them to drugs and other vices that lead to crimes. Some lose their lives; others fall into prisons for long years. Until they receive God in their hearts, they are healed. And they become good men; they leave a good legacy to their future generations. You have to read this book.»

Published by Page Publishing, Ranulfo San Juan Reyes’s new book Antídoto de Dios para la Raíz de Amargura will fill the readers of all ages with wisdom that comes with thought-provoking and relatable experiences in youth.

Consumers who wish to grasp the importance of living a purpose-driven life and the overwhelming struggles of youth that define their beings can purchase Antídoto de Dios para la Raíz de Amargura in any bookstore or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
