Fresh off a gig at Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth, NYC Jazz Pianist Alex Minasian brings a stellar trio to thrill the audience at Andres Institute of Art. This return performance in the AIA Music Series promises to be just as mesmerizing as the previous two years. He has played recently in well-known clubs in Boston, NYC and Washington DC – and will be returning to Brookline for another great show. Returning this year will be Francisco Mela on drums as well as Vince Dupont on bass. Give them a listen before the show with multiple videos available at his website.
Special for this concert only, there will be an initial short set by student musicians with the Alex Minasian Jazz Trio taking the stage at 6:30pm. Please show up at 6pm to catch these rising stars and encourage them in their journey! If you are interested in joining as a student musician, email president@andresinstitute.org for information.
Concerts are upstairs at the AIA Welcome Center, formerly known as the Big Bear Lodge. The room is rustic with resonant acoustics. It features all table-seating with the audience limited to about 100 guests. Beverage service is available with donation requested. Food is available downstairs at Brookline’s Finest or bring in snacks from home or takeout. An elevator is available from the first floor AIA Gallery. Be sure to visit the Gallery to learn about the history of the AIA and Mount Pontanipo or arrive early to hike the sculpture trails before the show.
