ENGLEWOOD, N.J.—Carriage House Concerts will resume Sunday, Feb. 2, at 2 p.m. at Woman’s Club of Englewood, 187 Brinckerhoff Court.
“From My Homeland” is the theme of the concert, which will feature works by composers Bedrich Smetana and Mary Kouyoumdjian performed by violinist Eric Silberger, cellist Ani Kalayjian and pianist Philip Fisher following an opening performance by talented students from the Elisabeth Morrow School.
This will be the first performance of the 2020 season, following a glowing first season of chamber music offerings last year.
General admission to the event is $25 per person for guests of the Woman’s Club of Englewood, though children are free. A dessert collation will follow the concert. Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes will appear to introduce the one-hour concert.
Cellist Kalayjian is artistic director of Carriage House Concerts and serves as co-chair of the music department of the Woman’s Club of Englewood; she also teaches cello at Elisabeth Morrow School and performs professionally all over the world. Her dream has been to create the Carriage House concert series, where the concert experience is interactive, incredible performers are brought to the Bergen County community, local educational institutions interact with the community and the visiting artists, and local community organizations can connect through the arts.
Local philanthropist Artemis Nazarian is strongly sponsoring the development of the Carriage House Concerts, but tax-deductible concert program advertisements are also supporting the series and other tax deductible gifts are being sought. For information, contact carriagehouseconcertsnj@gmail.com.
A second Carriage House concert for the 2020 season is planned for Sunday, April 26, at 3 p.m.
