The Jewel City Concert Series returns this fall with five consecutive Saturdays of live music on the Artsakh Paseo located at 127 Artsakh Ave. in Glendale’s Downtown Arts & Entertainment District. From Sept. 27 through Oct. 25, the community is invited to gather at 5 p.m. each Saturday for an eclectic mix of performances that reflect Glendale’s creative spirit and cultural diversity.

“The Jewel City Concert Series is part of our ongoing commitment to enliven the Artsakh Paseo and create meaningful cultural experiences in Downtown Glendale,” said Lessa Pelayo-Lozada, director of Glendale Library, Arts & Culture. “The series highlights the creative talent within our community and adds something special to Saturday nights, bringing people together through music in a setting that feels uniquely Glendale.”

Presented by the City of Glendale Library, Arts & Culture Dept. and sponsored by the Arts and Culture Commission through funding from the Urban Art Program, the series brings neighbors, families and friends together for a casual evening of live music in the heart of the city. Each concert turns the Paseo into a welcoming outdoor space where people can unwind, connect and enjoy the rhythm of the city.

This year’s lineup includes on Sept. 27,  TriosynThesis – Armenian/Word Jazz. According to its website, this Armenian-American musical family trio consists of Ani Sinanyan (violin), Zhanna Sinanyan (piano) and Artashes Sinanyan (percussion) who perform a unique blend of Armenian, world jazz and intercultural improvisational music. Formed in 2015, the trio creates and performs original compositions, winning the UCLA Call for New Works in 2022 for Music of Armenia and World Jazz. It is known for its passionate and soulful performances, bringing life to new musical works through their distinct style. 

Concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early to explore the surrounding district and support local businesses before the music begins. All performances are free and open to the public. 

Attendees are welcome to bring their own chairs as seating is not provided. Performances run approximately 60 minutes without intermission.
