The John Baboian Guitar Ensemble
Friday, July 5th, 2024, 6:00pm, with food service by Lobster Roller
The John Baboian Ensemble with vocalist Sandi Bedrosian. Well known as an accomplished guitarist and composer in jazz and swing circles, John Baboian is equally at home in the classical, blues, rock, R&B, Latin, and world music traditions. He has performed all over the world and has shared the stage with a who’s who of music industry legends. His work has been featured on a number of popular television series and more than 20 recordings. As an educator for more than 40 years, Baboian has inspired and trained a generation of aspiring musicians. An audience favorite, Baboian and his ensemble, several of whom are fellow faculty members from the Berklee College of Music, have traditionally opened the Music on Meetinghouse Green series. Sandi Bedrosian is well known as a lead vocalist and director in a wide range of musical styles and has opened for some of today’s hottest stars. She has performed coast to coast and throughout Europe and her repertoire includes musical productions, theater, and opera.
Despite a valiant effort by landscape architect Doug Cook with his many hard-working contractors, the green is not going to be ready for this first event, so we will gather in the Church social hall. Please plan to join us for this opening event!
Tonight’s non-profit organization
In the spirit of giving back to the community each concert is partnered with a Cape Ann non-profit organization. The public is invited to make a free-will donation (So if you can, please bring cash/check.) This week's organization is Pathways for Children.
About Pathways for Children
Pathways is a leading provider of education and care programs on the North Shore of Massachusetts serving over 500 children and their families from 14 communities. Our year-round programming, including Head Start and Early Head Start, serves children birth to age 13 and their families. We have centers in Gloucester, Beverly and Salem.
Our comprehensive, all-inclusive educational programming offers meals, nutrition assessment, health and developmental screenings, referrals for special education services, family support, enrichment programs and transportation when necessary.
Pathways’ holistic, all-inclusive approach along with our outstanding performance reviews and professional accreditations are what set us apart from most early education and care organizations.
We set our standards high, value our dedicated professional staff, and invest in each child’s success.
Pathways programs reach our children and families in a wide variety of ways. Our social workers can make a difference for our families. Sue Todd, President and CEO states: “The staff can find and build on strengths that even the parent doesn’t know are there. That parent who walked through our door unable to make eye contact because of lack of self-esteem, finds their voice and finds their path to a promising future for their family.”
