Naghash Ensemble
Songs of Exile
new music from Armenia
“"The sound of ancient Armenia reinvented for the 21st century.”
— Tigran Mansurian
About
The Naghash Ensemble combines medieval Armenian folk styles with contemporary post-minimalism and rock-style energy in their show Songs of Exile, a profound meditation on spirituality and the loss of homeland. Timeless beauty, created by 3 female vocalists and traditional Armenian instruments, meets the urgently timely subject matter of belonging and exile.
Part folk music, part classical and profoundly moving.
Programmes and projects
Composer/conductor John Hodian has created a compelling new orchestral version of “Songs of Exile” which allows for collaboration between a string orchestra and the musicians of The Naghash Ensemble. The orchestra parts are for any size string orchestra.
Written by Armenian-American composer John Hodian, The Naghash Ensemble’s “Songs of Exile” is a profound meditation on man's relationship to God from the perspective of a monk forced to live in exile for many years. Part folk music, part classical and profoundly moving.
