On the eve of an international tour he Naghash Ensemble to perform in Yerevan
On the eve of a tour across France and Canada, The Naghash Ensemble of Armenia will present its latest program, “Songs of Wisdom,” live at Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall in Yerevan. The concert will take place on March 23 at Arno Babajanyan concert hall. 

Inspired by the timeless poetry of Mkrtich Naghash and Kostandin Erznkaci, the music of The Naghash Ensemble is a mesmerizing blend of Armenian folk, new classical, post-minimalism, rock, and jazz energy.  

The Naghash Ensemble is a contemporary music ensemble from Armenia featuring three female singers, duduk, oud, dhol and piano. They perform new music written by Armenian-American composer John Hodian based on sacred texts by the medieval Armenian mystic poet and priest, Mkrtich Naghash. Described as "The sound of ancient Armenia reinvented for the 21st century" by Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian, Hodian's "Songs of Exile" combines "the earthy spirituality of Armenian folk song, new classical music, contemporary post-minimalism and the energy of rock and jazz".
