The Armenian Martyrs' Congregational Church in Havertown, Pa., hosted
a benefit concert on June 2 featuring the Grace Kelly Quintet. The
concert raised money and awareness for the Khoren and Shooshanig
Avedisian School in Yerevan, Armenia. The highly successful evening,
co-chaired by Eileen Chopourian Stephey and Tom Momjian, was supported
by the Armenian and local communities, with over 200 attendees filling
the sanctuary. Delicious, light refreshments were provided before the
concert.
Ground - breaking for the new Avedisian School took place on June 22.
The school will employ state of the art energy efficient technology in
its construction and become the first LEED-certified building in
Armenia. Pamela and Ed Avedisian attended the June 2 concert, where Ed
spoke briefly about the award-winning school and invited the audience
to participate in the project with their financial support.
Kelly's quintet included the hymns `Blessed Assurance,' `Amazing
Grace,' and `Sweet Hour of Prayer' from the CD `Grace' in the
performance. Saxophonist Grace Kelly also sang some of her own
compositions. The musicians, which included Jason Palmer on trumpet,
Evan Gregor on bass, Pete McCann on guitar, and Jordan Perlson on
drums, quickly established a warm rapport with the audience and
received a standing ovation following their final number.
Kelly and her family have long been supportive of the Avedisian School
building project and performed at a fundraising concert in Lexington,
Mass., in January for the Avedisian School.
