Book of J (Jewlia Eisenberg and Jeremiah Lockwood) will play songs from Armenia, Bosnia, Poland, and America. Kugelplex will collaborate with poet James Baloian on a piece about the Armenian genocide and the perseverance of the Armenian people.
James Baloian is a poet who for over fifty years has been writing and publishing poetry that explores the beauty, cruelty, dreams, fears, turbulence, and serenity of human existence and the natural world around us. A selection of his works has been set to original and traditional music that pays homage to the far-reaching tragedy and trauma of the Genocide as well as the love and perseverance of the Armenian people.
