About this user

The Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) was created to locate, collect, preserve, and present the culture, history, art, and contributions of the Armenian people during the past 3,000 years. The Library holds a vast collection of titles including rare books, historical and literary publications. The Museum has amassed an expansive treasure trove of inscribed Armenian rugs and textiles, ceramics, metalware, Urartian objects, medieval illuminations, ancient and medieval Armenian coins, and various other creations by the Armenian people.

These collections now constitute a major resource for Armenian Studies and for preserving and illustrating the Armenian heritage. ALMA is the only independent Armenian museum in the Diaspora which is funded solely through contributions of individuals.

ALMA JAZZES UP FRIDAY NIGHTS Once a month, ALMAs Contemporary Art Gallery gets transformed into an intimate music hall. A circle of light in the middle of the dark gallery highlights the stage area with the musicians. Twenty candle-lit round tables encircle the musicians. With the first strokes of the piano, the gallery is filled with enchanting jazz tunes. Whether its the established jazz musicians like John Baboian, Jerry Bergonzi and Joshua Davis, or relative newcomers like Vardan Ovsepian, Karen Kocharyan or the MUSANER group, the technique is superb, the performances unique, and the public reception overwhelmingly positive. Each time the audience is presented a distinctly different type of jazz. Armenian tunes and instruments dominate in one concert, while the guitar and Latin tunes dictate the beat in the other or the saxophone fills the gallery with soulful tunes in the third. Even the audience is different: ALMA regulars, Berklee students, random jazz fans, and Watertown residents. Young or younger, Armenian or not, all sharing the same affection for jazz. If you havent already done so, its time to tune in. Early 2007 ALMA announced the commencement of the Jazz concert series Jazz Nights at ALMA. In the spirit of supporting cultural events and local artists, the series features Armenian musicians performing diverse Jazz arrangements. Since the inception of the series, eight different groups have performed at ALMA, each of them offering a unique repertoire. The series gives an opportunity to Armenian musicians to introduce their music to the community, while jazz fans discover Armenian folk music through the musicians masterful arrangements. Jazz Nights has become the venue to debut new CDs or for inaugural performances of newly-formed groups. Groups like LUSIN and MUSANER push the boundaries of folk-Jazz music through original arrangements of Armenian folk music with elements of Jazz, while other groups like Hye Fusion and K&S World Jazz offer a dynamic synergy of traditional melodies and rhythms with middle-eastern instrumentation. ALMA members are encouraged to take advantage of the special 50% discount on the jazz tickets if they purchase tickets for three concerts in advance. Tickets can be purchased either by phone 617.926.2562 or at the door (membership card is required for the special discounted rate).
