On Saturday, May 18th at 3:00pm the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation will present the premiere North Shore screening of ‘Finding Armenia’ by noted Gloucester resident, documentary photographer and filmmaker Nubar Alexanian in the sanctuary of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church.
The program will include remarks with an audience Q&A with the filmmaker. After the screening, a reception with the artist will be held in the Church’s historical room for those who may want to support the completion of the film project as donors.
An intimate portrayal of one man’s search for his Armenian identity, Nubar Alexanian’s ‘Finding Armenia’ not only provides a vital history lesson for those unfamiliar with the Armenian Genocide, but also challenges its viewers to grapple with the profound questions that influence all of our identities. What does the healing of inter-generational trauma look like? What does it mean to regain control of our ancestral narratives? How can these narratives be reconciled with a hostile world? And what responsibility do we have to painful histories, even when they are not our own?
Tickets ($13.50 General, under 12 free) are available at the door and in advance online, with more information, at www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org
The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is located on the green at 50 Middle Street, at the corner with Church Street. Note: the green is closed for renovation but the main entrance is open. Please seek parking on the street and in lots nearby. A side entrance with an elevator is located at 10 Church Street.

Music, Dance, and Dreams for all ages. Saturday, June 1
The North Shore’s own Arpeggione Ensemble will return for a second residency at the Manship Artists Residency later this month in preparation for the final offering of its second season. “Dreams and Dances” will be presented on June 1, 2024 as a family-friendly, multimedia concert with music by Beethoven and Mendelssohn and original choreography performed by three dancers.

Join Arpeggione at Starfield, the home of the Manship Artists Residency, for a performance celebrating the creativity and expression in all of us. “Dreams and Dances” will take listeners of all ages on a journey through enchanted forests and countryside with music and dance. Arpeggione’s musicians will be performing Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony and excerpts from Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on instruments from the early 19th century. NYC-based choreographer and dancer Julian Donahue will be joined by dancers Guilia Faria and Mónica Lima to bring these dreams to life.
This performance is made possible by grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Institution for Savings, the Beverly Cultural Council, the Gloucester Cultural Council, and with the support of the Prometheus Circle of the Manship Artists Residency.
Founded in 2022, Arpeggione’s first public event was performed in the Manship barn studio, which followed a week-long residency at the Manship Artists Residency. Arpeggione Ensemble is known for its joyful, accessible, immersive chamber music performances. Arpeggione performs a full season of concerts on the North Shore, with outreach programs that bring the same world-class programming to underserved audiences. Arpeggione creates community through shared artistic experiences and brings beloved masterpieces out of the concert hall to those who would not normally be able to experience them live.
“Dreams and Dances” will feature Andrea LeBlanc, flute; Thomas Carroll, clarinet; Megumi Stohs and Emily Hale, violins; Anna Griffis, viola; Jacques Lee Wood cello; and Guinevere Conner, bass. Arpeggione’s members are among the country’s foremost experts in historical performance and hold leading positions with the most prestigious early music ensembles in the United States. Julian Donahue is the founder of Julian Donahue Dance, and appears with the New York Theatre Ballet, New York Baroque Dance Company, and the Boston Early Music Festival.
DETAILS: WHEN: Saturday, June 1, 5:00-6:00 pm WHERE: Starfield, the home of the Manship Artists Residency TICKETS: Priority Seating: $45 (rain or shine); Lawn Seating $15 person/$40 per family (if weather permits – BYO lawn chair or blanket)
The site of the Manship Artists Residency was once the summer retreat of Paul Manship, the sculptor of the Prometheus Fountain at Rockefeller Center. Many of the same opportunities and qualities that attracted Manship to Cape Ann are available to those who come here seeking solitude or community in this restorative landscape. Manship Artists Residency gives artists and the creative spirit time and space to flourish for the benefit of our community by welcoming artists and thought leaders from around the world to work in these serene surroundings steps away from the scenic northeast coast of New England. Our residents magnify the social capital and the cultural value of Cape Ann, and our innovative programming contributes to the health and vitality of our community and beyond. ManshipArtists.org
ABOUT ARPEGGIONE ENSEMBLE
Arpeggione brings classical music into our community by playing familiar and lesser-known masterpieces in chamber arrangements. We perform on historical instruments with an awareness of social and musical contexts of the past to highlight what is timeless and universal about the music we play and affirm each listener’s integral place in a shared artistic journey. Our guiding principles of accessibility and inclusivity are woven into the fabric of our ensemble.
Arpeggione is a BIPOC- and woman-led organization at the forefront of historically-informed music. Drawing inspiration from the groundbreaking salons led by women in the past, we aim to expand the horizons of our musical repertoire and create a thriving, inclusive community that resonates with the legacy of those who dared to break boundaries.

Although Thai Choice restaurant has been for sale, we hoped it wasn’t true. It is. Thai Choice announced their retirement and are indeed closing. The last day of operation will be May 25, 2024.
Everyone involved in their business is so amiable! Thai Choice made our family feel special whether we were grabbing take out or dining in, even more so when we gathered for small family celebrations. There is so much variety and tasty options on their menu, carefully cooked and customizable– for us it was a combination of spicy for some family members, tame for my mother in law, and just right for me.
There’s still time to order your favorite meal, thank them, and wish them well.
Thai Choice Restaurant says Goodbye
