Sayat Nvaq Ensemble: Troubadour & Village Music of Eastern Armenia

Sayat Nvaq Ensemble is a San Francisco Bay Area group that delves into the rich traditions of Eastern Armenian music. The group draws its inspiration equally from the two main pillars of Armenian secular music: the classical troubadour poet traditions of the Ashougs and Gousans—such as Sayat Nova, Ashot, Djivani, and Sheram—as well as the popular regional village music found throughout the countryside. Sayat Nvaq Ensemble invites audiences, both old and new, to share its deep appreciation of this evocative musical tradition.
