The wistful and moving sound of the Armenian traditional instrument, the duduk, leaves the audience indifferent. Artyom Minasyan, the renowned Armenian bagpiper who will perform with the Klaipėda Brass Quintet, is a versatile performer.
He is a master of traditional Armenian Mugham, also plays fusion jazz and can be heard on film soundtracks. Dedicated to his instrument, Minasyan teaches the duduk at the Maison de la Culture Arménienne, the home of Armenian culture in Alfortville, France. Don’t miss the chance to hear the magical sound of the Armenian duduk on May evening.
