I am currently organizing a couple of pretty cool concerts here in the Boston area. The first is Gor Mkhitarian at Toast Lounge in Somerville, MA at 6:30 pm this Saturday night. The other is Lilit Pipoyan at Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA on January 31 at 7:30pm. Working alone as a for-profit company has it's drawbacks and rewards when presenting show of this nature. For one thing, it is liberating in the sense that there is no committee, redtape, or delay in doing a show that is sometimes associated with Armenian organizations. The downside is that the built-in support system of an organiziation is not there and has to be created. That being said, I think both show will be unique in nature and music content and will provide a different look at music from Armenia. Luckily, there is plenty of buzz for both shows and it looks like they are both going to be a success. Boston doesn't get these kinds of concerts often, so they are unique enough where people are curious.
