Inspired by the timeless poetry of Mkrtich Naghash and Kostandin Erznkaci, the music of The Naghash Ensemble is a mesmerizing blend of Armenian folk, new classical, post-minimalism, rock, and jazz energy.

On the eve of a tour across France and Canada, The Naghash Ensemble of Armenia will present its latest program, “Songs of Wisdom,” live at Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall in Yerevan.

The ensemble will play some of their all-time favorite pieces as well as the Armenian premiere of several brand-new compositions.
