Our Songs, Our Legacy: Celebrated Melodies of Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine

Explore the richness and beauty of three ancient cultures: Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine. Their songs reveal the beauty of their souls and strengthen the bond of nations through music, which transcends language and customs. Seven world-class artists, representatives of each region, will showcase their favorite melodies of their Homeland.

Two concerts: one at Christ the King Ukrainian Catholic Church on Friday, September 15th at 7:30PM (146 Forest Hills St., Jamaica Plain, MA 02130) and one on Saturday, September 16th, at 5PM at First Armenian Church in Belmont ((380 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA 01803).

We hope that Ukrainian, Georgian and Armenian communities will visit each other's centers, and representatives of other cultures and nationalities will come to learn something new about these rich musical nations.
