PICNIC
WHAT: We are excited to announce our next Armenian community event slated for Sunday, November 21, which will be a community picnic at Battleground Ranch. We are very excited to host you there. For those of you who haven't been to the ranch, here are a few tips:
- We are located on a private access road so turn on the gravel road Fagerquist rd (where you see our sign). Take the private road (1/4 mile) ALL the way back until you see a HUGE Battleground Ranch sign.
- We're sitting on 25 acres so plenty of parking and space to run around
- We have a big barn/pavillion area with picnic tables and chairs + a firepit so once it cools off we can light a bonfire. We have extra tables but you can bring extra chairs if you'd like
- Kids can run around and play near the barn but also can head down to the battlefield and explore
Event itself: Super casual potluck. Bring some food with you and enjoy the space. We'll provide water and beer. We'll blast some Armenian music and hang out. No agenda or formalities
Please RSVP for the event by following this link or RSVP by replying to this email

WHAT: Collectif Medz Bazar is a genre-breaking, female-dominated urban diaspora ensemble comprised of musicians belonging to Armenian, Turkish, French and American cultures. Drawing from their own and from neighboring traditions, the members of Medz Bazar create original arrangements of folk music as well as compositions of their own, while tackling social issues and challenging political and cultural boundaries. On stage, they offer a fruitful balance between tempered instruments and music from the modal traditions, between Middle-Eastern percussions and voices inspired by Asia Minor’s and Iran’s folk music, Caucasian Rabiz and songs of Thrace, together with Hip Hop, Swing, Chanson and Bluegrass. Medz Bazar performs regularly in Europe, in the Middle-East, and in North America. The band's third album "O" will be released in May of 2019.
