The Voice Of Duduk

Event information

Music Of Armenia and St Ethelburga's Centre present

"THE VOICE OF DUDUK"

The duduk is an instrument which best describes sorrow, yet it is also an instrument used for happy occasions. With this in mind, Music Of Armenia brings you "The Voice Of Duduk" to honour the victims of the Armenian Genocide as well as celebrate Armenian culture through its beautiful music.

=======================================

Tigran Aleksanyan, Andrew Cronshaw and Cevanne in an unforgettable evening of beautiful music

Tigran Aleksanyan
Master of Armenia's exquisitely soft-toned reed instrument, the duduk.
Born in the Ararat Mountains, aged seventeen Tigran joined the Armenian State Dance Ensemble.
He moved to Britain in 2001 and since then he has worked with music greats such as Andrew Cronshaw, Natacha Atlas, Yasmin Levy and La Banda Europa.

Cevanne
Cevanne embraces art in its many forms - composition, song, dance, scholarship and the Celtic harp.
A grandchild of Armenian refugees and Lancashire coal workers growing up on Benjamin Britten's doorstep might be expected to learn an unusual musical language. Highlights have involved her work with Alex Wilson, Zoe Rahman, and the London Mozart Players.
This year, Cevanne will write for the London Symphony Orchestra and thanks to her recent grant from the Arts Council, she will also produce her debut album 'Big Ears' with Kuljit Bhamra MBE.
