Well known as an accomplished guitarist and composer in jazz and swing circles, John Baboian is equally at home in the classical, blues, rock, R&B, Latin, and world music traditions.

As an educator for more than 40 years, Baboian has inspired and trained a generation of aspiring musicians. An audience favorite, Baboian and his ensemble, several of whom are fellow faculty members from the Berklee College of Music, have traditionally opened the Music on Meetinghouse Green series.

In the spirit of giving back to the community, each concert is partnered with a Cape Ann non-profit organization. The public is invited to make a free-will donation.
Pathways is a leading provider of education and care programs on the North Shore of Massachusetts serving over 500 children and their families from 14 communities. Our year-round programming, including Head Start and Early Head Start, serves children birth to age 13 and their families. We have centers in Gloucester, Beverly and Salem.
Our comprehensive, all-inclusive educational programming offers meals, nutrition assessment, health and developmental screenings, referrals for special education services, family support, enrichment programs and transportation when necessary.
Pathways’ holistic, all-inclusive approach along with our outstanding performance reviews and professional accreditations are what set us apart from most early education and care organizations.
We set our standards high, value our dedicated professional staff, and invest in each child’s success.
Pathways programs reach our children and families in a wide variety of ways. Our social workers can make a difference for our families. Sue Todd, President and CEO states: “The staff can find and build on strengths that even the parent doesn’t know are there. That parent who walked through our door unable to make eye contact because of lack of self-esteem, finds their voice and finds their path to a promising future for their family.”

Last year we raised over $18K in free will donations while featuring great local musical groups and offering delicious food from local vendors. We call it doing good while having fun! All the proceeds go to our partner non-profits, so we rely entirely upon Sponsors like you to pay the expenses. Being a Sponsor is a great way to support your community and to have your name or business listed on all of our posters, season cards, and online publicity.
