About this Event

Musical Bridges Around the World’s first performers were members of CEO Anya Grokhovski’s family, students, and friends. This concert brings them together again, as Anya takes the stage with pianist Valeri Grokhovski, bassist Zlatan Redzic, violinist Mark Cheikhet, pianist Elena Portnaya, Agarita Chamber Ensemble, and mezzo-soprano Veronica Williams. All generations of musicians will unite in celebrating, reuniting, and contributing to a shared peace that comes through music.

About Waitlist

Once ticket registration fills up to 500, all others will be subject to join a waitlist. MBAW will check in with ticket holders multiple times leading up to the concert if they are still coming. Any cancellations will open ticket registration to those on the waitlist.

Because it is a free event, MBAW will open available seating to anyone still on the waitlist (and any walk-ins) at 6:30 PM, 30 minutes before the performance. Seating is unassigned.
