Let $A_{\zeta }=\Omega -\overline{\rho \left(\zeta \right)·\Omega }$ be a family of generalized annuli over a domain U. We show that the logarithm of the Bergman kernel $K_{\zeta }\left(z\right)$ of $A_{\zeta }$ is plurisubharmonic provided ρ ∈ PSH(U). It is remarkable that $A_{\zeta }$ is non-pseudoconvex when the dimension of $A_{\zeta }$ is larger than one. For standard annuli in ℂ, we obtain an interesting formula for $\partial ²log{K}_{\zeta }/\partial \zeta \partial \zeta ̅$, as well as its boundary behavior.
