Multicultural Arts Center Presents

Nocturnes

July 5, 2025

7:00 - 9:00 PM

The Multicultural Arts Center will host a one-night performance of “Nocturnes,” an ode to the elegance, drama, and mystery of the evening. The concert features singer and composer Shira Laucharoen, who will present original, musical theater inspired works, as well as classic Broadway selections. Actor Fady Demian will also take the spotlight, regaling audiences with iconic show tunes.

The two performers will be accompanied by Lauren Roberts and Sakurako Kanemitsu. Roberts is a cellist and educator who performs as a solo and chamber musician. She holds degrees from Utah State University and Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Kanemitsu is a pianist who began her education at age five in Tokyo, Japan. She studied at Sacramento State School of Music and Longy School of Music of Bard College. Singer Chloe Gardner and pianist Sophy Gao will also make appearances.

The Multicultural Arts Center is a place for artists and performers to share their creative energies, while fostering conversation around issues of identity, race, and equity. The Cambridge community space is excited to be offering a rich celebration of voices during this short engagement. In addition, the Persian bakery La Saison will serve refreshments during the event.
