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. Three brilliant female vocalists and some of Armenia’s finest instrumentalists play captivating new music based on sacred texts by the medieval Armenian mystic poet and priest Mkrtich Naghash.

The Naghash Ensemble present their Songs of Exile, a meditation on man’s relationship to God from the perspective of a monk forced to live in exile for many years. It was written by Armenian-American composer John Hodian. “Part folk music, part classical, and profoundly moving. Unmistakably Armenian, but out of this world” written by the Armenisch-Deutsche Korrespondenz.

Let yourself be amazed by the exceptionally beautiful sound of Armenian music and experience what Rolling Stone described as “A moment of grace and meditation”.
