Ara Dinkjian, Arsen Petrosyan and String Quartet from the Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony are set to perform on Saturday, April 6, 2024, at 8:00pm at Roulette in New York City
This entrancing evening of Armenian music features duduk (ancient oboe) virtuoso Arsen Petrosyan; Ara Dinkjian, one of the world’s top oud (fretless lute) players; and a string quartet from the Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony (Sami Merdinian, Annamae Goldstein, David Creswell and Daniel Miller). Petrosyan, who has recently emerged as one of his generation’s main proponents of the Armenian duduk, is following in the footsteps of such masters as Jivan Gasparyan and his mentor Gevorg Dabaghyan.
Dinkjian, who began his musical career by accompanying his father Onnik Dinkjian, a celebrated Armenian folk and liturgical singer, founded the acclaimed Night Ark quartet and recently performed at RBA concerts with The Secret Trio.
Roulette is located at 509 Atlantic Avenue at 3rd Avenue, Downtown Brooklyn, 917-267-0363. More at roulette.org/event/music-of-armenia-rba
