Merry Armenian Christmas!

“Three of Armenia's most beautiful voices” — BR Klassik

The Naghash Ensemble features three brilliant female vocalists and some of Armenia’s finest instrumentalists on duduk, oud, dhol, and piano.

Together, they play new music based on sacred texts by the medieval Armenian mystic poet and priest, Mkrtich Naghash.

“Part folk music, part classical, and profoundly moving.”

We'll see you on January 10 in Tenafly, NJ!
