ANNA MKHITARYAN – THE ARTIST BY THE ANCIENT DUDUK
Anna Mkhitaryan is a musician and leader of an ethno-musical group from Yerevan, Armenia. In 2011 she graduated from the Komitas Yerevan State Conservatory with a master’s degree. She is the founder of the Tsakhruk international festival of ethnic Armenian music 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, and often takes part in recordings and concerts.
“When I received an offer from Sonuscore,” says Anna, “I immediately imagined how the Armenian ethnic instrument duduk would be ideal for any film.”
