The Naghash Ensemble

The Naghash Ensemble brings their unique blend of Armenian folk, sacred music, and contemporary classical arrangements to La Jolla. Led by Armenian-American composer John Hodian, the ensemble features three female vocalists, duduk, oud, dhol, and piano. Their work often reinterprets medieval Armenian poetry, creating a sound that is both ancient and modern. This performance highlights their distinct approach to classical music, drawing from deep cultural roots.
