The Avamar Foundation invites the public to the 17th Annual Evening Under the Stars. The unforgettable two-day celebration of music, art, cuisine and community takes place on Friday, Aug. 22, and Saturday, Aug. 23, at 5 p.m. in the open-air splendor of the Cadobaz Estate.

This year’s event features a world-class musical performance by internationally acclaimed violinist Alexander Markov, who will headline both evenings with an exhilarating program that blends classical tradition with modern flair.

Markov’s performance will span centuries of music, from timeless works by Bach to Markov’s rock ‘n’ roll composition “Caesar.” The five-part oratorio is based on the life of Julius Caesar and features Markov’s signature crossover style. Known for thrilling audiences around the world, Markov will perform on his one-of-a-kind gold electric violin. He will be joined by a stellar ensemble of internationally recognized singers from the New York City Opera: Tatev Baroyan (soprano), Berj Karazian (tenor) and Christopher Nazarian (bass), as well as pianist Heike Doerr, a chamber group and a rhythm section.

Guests will also enjoy:

• A curated art exhibit featuring works by Susie Sharpe
• A gourmet sit-down dinner and hors d’oeuvres by AVI Foodsystems, led by executive chef Jeff McClure
• Fine wine provided by L’uva Bella Winery
