This entrancing evening of Armenian music features Ara Dinkjian, one of the world’s top oud (fretless lute) players; duduk (ancient oboe) virtuoso Arsen Petrosyan; and a string quartet from The Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony (Sami Merdinian, Annamae Goldstein, David Creswell and Daniel Miller). 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 and recorded with The Secret Trio. Petrosyan, who has emerged as one of his generation’s main proponents of the Armenian duduk, is following in the footsteps of such masters as Djivan Gasparyan and his mentor Gevorg Dabaghyan. The concert features duets with Ara Dinkjian and Arsen Petrosyan, duduk solos with Petrosyan, pieces played by the string quartet, and music performed by Dinkjian, Petrosyan and the string quartet.
