Violinist Henrik Karapetyan will perform for residents and the public in the piano lounge at 2 p.m. Sunday, December 23, at The Timbers of Shorewood, 1100 N. River Rd., Shorewood.
Karapetyan, a violinist who has been performing for more than 20 years, will entertain with a combination of classical and folk violin pieces. He will give a narrative of the works before performing them to explain each story to residents.

Karapetyan, a native of Rochester, MI, has performed in several venues such as Carnegie Hall, as well as with the Michigan Opera Theatre in Detroit.
