Ara Dinkjian, one of the world’s top oud (fretless lute) players, is joined by the acclaimed New York Gypsy All-Stars in a program featuring compositions by Dinkjian that blend music of Armenia, the Balkans, and the Middle East with jazz. Dinkjian began his musical career by accompanying his father Onnik Dinkjian, a celebrated Armenian folk and liturgical singer; he later founded the Night Ark quartet, and in recent years has performed with The Secret Trio. The New York Gypsy All-Stars is composed of Ismail Lumanovski (clarinet), Tamer Pinarbasi (kanun -zither), Panagiotis Andreou (bass), Engin Gunaydin (drums), and Jason Linder (keyboards) - classically-trained virtuosi from the world’s most prestigious music conservatories who perform music that highlights their diverse cultural backgrounds.
