X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Enjoy a live performance by Raffi Joe Wart
 anian &amp\; the S&eacute\;r Ensemble on Friday\, August 7 starting at 7:0
 0 PM. Join us for eclectic live music outside on the lawn behind Brand Lib
 rary &amp\; Art Center. Visitors are welcome to bring a chair or blanket a
 nd picnic on the grassy hillsides in Brand Park. Seats are not provided. P
 erformances run 60 - 90 minutes without intermission. Performances may be 
 experienced by children and families.</p>\n<p><strong>Raffi Joe Wartanian 
 &amp\; the S&eacute\;r Ensemble</strong> unite oud\, violin\, guitar\, bas
 s\, and percussion as a vehicle for original composition\, intercultural c
 onversation\, and expressive transcendence. Helmed by composer\, writer\, 
 and educator Raffi Joe Wartanian\, the group explores soundscapes where Ar
 menian musical inheritance meets contemporary global sound.</p>\n<p>At its
  core is the oud&mdash\;the ancient\, fretless ancestor of the guitar&mdas
 h\;reimagined here as a living\, compositional tool. Drawing from Armenian
  folk\, modal jazz\, flamenco\, rebetiko\, and poetry\, the ensemble&rsquo
 \;s music flows through geographic and stylistic borders while reveling in
  the uprooted groundedness of the diasporic experience. &ldquo\;S&eacute\;
 r\,&rdquo\; meaning love in Armenian and to be in Spanish\, reflects a gui
 ding ethos: compositions as a container of both presence and relation\, as
  in an unfolding practice of community\, contemplation\, and mutual care.<
