Recording my album in 2014

In 2013, I created my first ever album, collaborating with accomplished Armenian-American pianist Peter Gharibian. Our album, titled "Armenian Treasures," features tender Armenian classical compositions from Sayat Nova, to Father Gomidas and beyond. 


At this time, we are working to release the CD digitally via iTunes. For information or to  purchase this album, click here.

Sayat Nova Armenian poet & musician

Father Gomidas, Armenian composer

From Bach to Hovaness, mozart to sarrasate, Classical music is part of my everyday life.


As an Armenian immigrant to the United States, I take great interest in playing Armenian classical music and exploring Armenian compositions in my spare time. Among the great composers in Armenian history, I take particular interest in the works of Sayat Nova and Father Gomidas.


Sayat Nova was an 18th century Armenian troubadour whose compositions have found their way into the hearts of many different nations in modern day Anatolia and the Caucasus. His euphonic melodies carry the essence of the Armenian culture.


Gomidas, an Armenian priest and composer, reinvented Armenian music in the late 19th century, traveling through Armenian villages and combining variations of similar music into new arrangements. His works gave rise to a Golden Age in Armenian music, during a time when Armenians were oppressed and facing large-scale massacres. During the Armenian Genocide in 1915, Gomidas lost his sanity after witnessing the brutality that his people endured at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.
