Tigran Kazazian Quartet in Yerevan

The Tigran Kazazian Quartet presents a unique program where the Duduk, performed by Arsen Petrosyan, blends with modern soundscapes in a rare fusion of tradition and innovation. Featuring pieces from the album Still Love along with new works such as Dancing Lights, Soul Symphony, and Sacred Suns, this project explores the intersections of Armenian, Indian, and Egyptian musical traditions with electroacoustic textures.

Alongside Tigran Kazazian (oud, composition), Lusi Khanyan (piano, electroacoustics), Manana Avetisyan (percussion), and special guest Peter Davtyan (sitar), the Duduk becomes the centerpiece of a vibrant musical dialogue between ancestral heritage and contemporary experimentation.
