N.B. This event is entirely online.

Join us, Ara Dinkjian and friends for a musical celebration of 20 years of the Armenian Institute. Bringing together friends from Armenia, across the diaspora, and our neighbours historic and present, the evening will resonate with “The Notes That Bind Us”: those melodies, rhythms and instruments that bring the global Armenian diaspora and all the communities of the region together.

Each performer has chosen pieces which reflect this musical evocation of AI’s mission to make Armenian history and culture a living experience, and reveal and renew our deep interconnection with our neighbours. Each will be introduced by Ara, and we’ll hear from his own intercommunal musical collective, The Secret Trio, with Tamer Pinarbaşi and Ismail Lumanovski. We’re also honoured to be joined by:

Eleftheria Arvanitaki
Collectif Medz Bazar
Suna Alan
Norah Shaqur
Erdal Erzinjan
Haig Yazdjian
Miqayel Voskanyan

The evening is part of series of events celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Armenian Institute’s founding, and is a fundraiser so that we can continue our mission into the next 20 years.
