The Forgotten Tales of Armenia
A Tribute to Komitas, the founder of Armenian Classical music
During the turmoil of the turn of the 20th century, Komitas's music unified a nation that endured decades of tragedy and devastation. This month's concert features Komitas’ most revered Armenian folk melodies, including Gaaroon Aa, Shogher Djaan, Kaakaveek, Haabrbaan, Cheenaar Es and Keler-Tsoler, as well as others arranged by Sarkis Aslamazian for string quartet.
Sarkis Aslamazian’s arrangements boast a widespread reputation both in Armenia and beyond Armenian borders. His compositional proficiency and delicate musical taste shine in arrangements based on Komitas’s works originally composed for chorus and solo voice.
