The Sunday Afternoon at the ‘Greenough House series recreates the atmosphere of 18th and 19th century “musical afternoons” in the 1760 Loring-Greenough House, twice monthly, October to May. Tickets are available at the door: donation $15 ($10 seniors, students and JPTC members). Space is limited; reservations are suggested—call 617-524-3158 or email lghouseconcerts@aim.com.

J-Way was founded by associate faculty and graduates of Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory with a common interest in jazz and creative music. Four accomplished string players with training in the European tradition and the music of various parts of world bring their original compositions and arrangements, music from Argentina and Brazil and other music with African roots. All of its members being emigrants from other continents, J-Way appreciates the paths that music travels, the deep vibrations of the old world within the new, and the special weight of time and place when music is performed far from home.

Built in 1760, the Loring-Greenough House, a local landmark listed on the Massachusetts and National Registers of Historic Places, is located at 12 South Street (at the Civil War Monument) in Jamaica Plain, MA. It is owned and managed by the non-profit Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club, Inc. as a historic house museum and site for art and music presentations. The Loring-Greenough House is wheelchair accessible.
