THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Presented in collaboration with The Juilliard School, Columbia University Armenian Center and Armenian General Benevolent Union

A kaleidoscope of Armenian folk music through both a historical and modern interactive lens, Komitas and Friends celebrates the interdisciplinary, ever-changing legacy of folk songs deeply rooted in Armenian culture even today. This program is derived from music notated and transcribed by Komitas Vardapet, a pioneering ethnomusicologist, composer, and priest who gathered thousands of folk songs at the turn of the 20th century, immortalizing folk tunes for generations to come. A wide array of songs present themselves in their original form for voice, as well as in classical and jazz transcriptions that have kept these melodies alive throughout the last 100 years, interspersing them in various genres and musical spaces all over the world. This program also includes the world premieres of five brand-new works of music commissioned by The Juilliard School and The Columbia University Armenian Center—the result of a cultural exchange project led by Juilliard student Anoush Pogossian for five of her Juilliard peers to write pieces for her to perform, each one based on a different one of the folk songs of her upbringing as a member of the Armenian diaspora.
