ANNA MKHITARYAN – THE ARTIST BEHIND THE PHRASES OF THE ANCIENT DUDUK
Anna Mkhitaryan is a musician and leader of an ethno-musical group from Yerevan, Armenia. In 2011, she graduated from the Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory with a master’s degree. She is the founder of the international festival of ethnic Armenian music “Tsakhruk” and together with her sister runs the cultural center of the same name and a music group for people with disabilities.
Anna also plays other spiritual traditional Armenian instruments: pku and zurna, often takes part in recordings and concerts.
