Special thanks to the Dadourian Foundation for their generous grant in support of our 2019 music events.

Join us for the first Thursday of every month from April through June for an evening of live jazz, wine, and dancing—Armenian style!

We are thrilled to welcome John Baboian to our newly-renovated contemporary space. John has been teaching guitar at Berklee College of Music for 39 years and brings his amazing talent and fellow musicians to light up this venue.

He will be joined Thursday, June 6, by the Black Sea Salsa Band. Black Sea Salsa is a 15-piece World-Music group made up of 6 horns, 4 vocalists, and 5 rhythm, playing an original blend of Armenian music and Afro-Cuban Jazz. Led by trumpeter Dan Teager, who writes and arranges the band's repertoire, Black Sea Salsa has established itself as one of Boston's premier festival bands.

We encourage you to join us at 6 pm for a viewing of our newest Family Case featuring a uniform belonging to SSG Berge Avadanian. Then join us in the Adele & Haig Der Manuelian Galleries on the 3rd Floor as we continue the celebration of Berge’s honorable life with the sounds of Black Sea Salsa Band directed by Dan Teager and featuring John Baboian and other artists
