From Baghdad to Brooklyn is Michelle Azar’s story of her ancestors’ immigrant journey; charted in a map of music traditions and cultural celebrations. Arts at the Armory’s Spotlight Series is thrilled to present Azar’s original one-woman show on March 16, 2025.
With an angelic voice, deep sentiment and humor, Michelle tells a timely story of a family's love and dysfunction set against an historical and redemptive background.
Azar’s performance will be accompanied by Oud player Yonatan Battat and a soon-to-be announced pianist.
From Baghdad to Brooklyn is presented by Arts at the Armory in partnership with the Boston Festival of New Jewish Music. A special performance by a local Klezmer band will follow Azar’s play - stay tuned for more details!
Doors will open at 5:00pm, music will start at 5:30pm followed by the performance at 6:00pm.
