WATERTOWN, Mass. - The Armenian Cultural and Educational Center (ACEC),
in collaboration with Hamazkayin-Boston, has launched a revival of its
outdoor summer courtyard series.
`The summer evenings in the courtyard can serve multiple purposes at
ones,' said the center's current chairman, George Bashirians. `It
serves as a meeting ground, allowing members of the community to meet
people in an enjoyable, outdoor setting, while revitalizing the
center's dedication to cultural events. We look forward to seeing new
faces, along with members of the community who have been attending
events at the center regularly.'
On Fri., Aug. 9, at 9 p.m., the critically acclaimed Armenian jazz
band musAner will perform in the ACEC's courtyard. Founded in 2007 by
composer and pianist Ara Sarkissian, musAner blends jazz orchestration
and Armenian folk music, and has presented widely to both jazz circles
and general audiences. The group's cross-genre repertoire has been
heard regularly at some of the most prestigious venues in Boston, and
featured on radio programs in the U.S., Italy, France, Lebanon, and
Armenia. New York Music Daily called `Once Upon A Time,' their latest
recording, `one of the most picturesque, intensely vivid albums of the
year.'
`It is exciting for us to appear at the ACEC,' said Sarkissian. `Our
regular performances in Boston are at venues such as the Regattabar in
Cambridge and the Beehive in Boston. But to appear in this wonderful
outdoor setting for our community is a special event for us, and we
look forward to working with the center as well as meeting new faces
at the performance.'
The ACEC is located at 47 Nichols Ave. in Watertown. Admission is $25
and includes complimentary wine and cheese during the performance, as
well as a complimentary copy of `Once Upon A Time.' For reservations
or for more information, call (617) 775-4633.
