Declared "a stunning discovery" by Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Naghash Ensemble combines the earthy spirituality of Armenian folk song, new classical music, and contemporary post-minimalism with the energy of rock and jazz. Led by three brilliant female vocalists and some of Armenia's finest instrumentalists on duduk, oud, dhol, and piano, the Naghash Ensemble plays captivating new music based on sacred texts by the medieval Armenian mystic poet and priest Mkrtich Naghash.
