Voices of Armenia
Armenian Institute
1 Onslow Street London EC1N 8AS United Kingdom
The Armenian Institute is proud to invite you to the launch of newly recorded performances of classical songs by acclaimed Armenian opera singers, soprano Anush Hovhannisyan and baritone Grisha Martirosyan, associated with the Royal Ballet & Opera in London. Last March, they performed for a special filming project, seeking to capture live sound during the filming. This difficult endeavour is a very rare occurrence in films about music of any genre, yet worthwhile in order to capture the special moments of the live performance without the usually heavy studio editing.
Come and delight in the viewing of Anush Hovhannisyan singing Tre Sonetti di Petrarca (The Three Petrarch Sonnets) by Franz Liszt and of Grisha Martirosyan interpreting Reconciliation by P.I. Tchaikovsky, all accompanied by acclaimed pianist Sergey Rybin.
The premiere screening of the films will be followed by a unique opportunity to exchange with Anush and Grisha, who will talk and answer audience questions. Through these accomplished artists, learn more about the lively and unique opera tradition in Armenia and their life as international singers before we gather around a celebratory drink.
This event is part of Heritage of Displacement: Oral Histories from the UK Armenian Communities (2023–2026), funded by a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, thanks to National Lottery players.
