TRIBUTE CONCERT FOR THE PABLOFFS

On Sunday, June 26, at 2 pm, we will pay tribute to the Pabloff family and celebrate the 16th anniversary of the Gertrude Pearlman Theater with a wonderful musical afternoon. The concert performers will be the ANRE Quartet and Ester Gonzalez (Maria Lozano).

You have already heard here the magnificent voice of Ester, but this is the first time the ANRE Quartet will play for us. They are a family group of string musicians who came to Mexico in 2000 from their native Armenia. The parents, Ara Ghukasyan (viola) and Nonna Alakhverdova (violin), are conservatory trained musicians and have won many honors and competitions. They have toured with leading orchestras both in Europe and here in Mexico. Both are full-time lecturers in music at the
Univerity Autonomous of Baja California.

The other two members of the Quartet are their sons, Ruben and Erik. Their musical training began with their parents at an early age, and has extended to other outstanding Mexican music teachers. In addition to the quartet, they participate in various youth orchestras here.

Their program for us will consist of classical pieces in the first half and Mexican numbers in the second half.

During the intermission we will have Anniversary champagne and cheese. And we will honor our patron, Sr. Alejandro Pabloff, with the unveiling of his portrait painted by H. Ward Miller.

Please join us on the 26th at 2 p.m. Tickets are now on sale for $11 at Villarinos and at the Old Mission Brewery. At the door they will cost $12.

You don't want to miss this delightful afternoon event.
