    ACEC Revives Courtyard Series with Special Performance by musAner

    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.
