This entrancing evening of Armenian music brings two performers back to the Roulette stage: Ara Dinkjian, one of the world’s top oud (fretless lute) players, and Arsen Petrosyan, duduk (ancient oboe) virtuoso.

Dinkjian, who began his musical career accompanying his father Onnik Dinkjian, a celebrated Armenian folk and liturgical singer, founded the acclaimed Night Ark quartet and has performed with The Secret Trio. Petrosyan, who has recently emerged as one of his generation’s main proponents of the Armenian duduk, follows in the footsteps of masters such as Djivan Gasparyan and his mentor Gevorg Dabaghyan.

“One of this country’s premier oud players.” –New York Times

“Master torchbearer for Armenia’s most evocative music.” –Paradigms


This event is presented by Roulette in partnership with Robert Browning Associates, Brooklyn Maqam, and Lotus Music & Dance.
