The Armenian Institute is excited to host the Arsen Petrosyan Quartet for the first time in London on Saturday 11th March, 2023 at St. Sarkis Church, London.

The Arsen Petrosyan Quartet plays traditional and sacred Armenian classical music, spanning different eras and genres within Armenia's historical timeline.

The instruments used are the Duduk, Santur, Qanun and Percussion. Our programme will include music from Grigor Narekatsi (10th century), Simeon Yerevantsi (18th century), Sayat-Nova (18th century), Komitas (20th century) among others.

The Quartet is promoting Arsen Petrosyan's new album 'Hokin Janapar'. 'Hokin janapar' means 'my soul's journey' in Armenian. It is Petrosyan's nostalgic exploration into music that has stirred his soul and reflects the continued odyssey of the Armenian people. The album manifests into a journey of a nation and culture that refuses to die. Musicians: Arsen Petrosyan - Duduk; Astghik Snetsunts - Qanun; Vladimir Papikyan - Santur; Avetis Keoseyan - Percussion.

This event is made possible by the gracious support of Diana and Panos Katsouris, Violet Tatevossian, and Assadour Guzelian.

Time: 11 March, 7:15 pm-10:00 pm in person at St. Sarkis Armenian Church, London.
