Naghash Ensemble
Members: John Hodian, Emmanuel Hovhannisyan, Aram Nikoghosyan, Tigran Hovhannisyan, Hasmik Baghdasaryan, Arpine Ter-Petrosyan, Tatev Movsesyan
The Naghash Ensemble was formed to play new music composed by John Hodian based on texts of the Armenian Medieval mystical poet & priest Mkrtich Naghash. With five female vocalists along with some of Armenia’s finest instrumentalists on Duduk, Oud and Dhol, accompanied by a string quartet the ensemble creates music that is part folk, part classical and profoundly moving.
