CThis entrancing evening of Armenian music features  Ara Dinkjian, one of the world’s top oud (fretless lute) players, and duduk (ancient oboe) virtuoso Arsen Petrosyan. Dinkjian, who began his musical career by accompanying his father Onnik Dinkjian, a celebrated Armenian folk and liturgical singer, founded the acclaimed Night Ark quartet and has performed with The Secret Trio. Petrosyan, who has recently emerged as one of his generation’s main proponents of the Armenian duduk, is following in the footsteps of such masters as Djivan Gasparyan and his mentor Gevorg Dabaghyan.
