Armen Hovhannisyan

Armen Hovhannisyan effortlessly combines charm and professionalism, and is not only a performer but also a qualified teacher at the DUDUKIST project's Duduk School.

Armen was born in Yerevan. He graduated from the Kh. Abovyan Pedagogical Institute (music faculty). From 1994 to 2015 he taught duduk lessons at the Avet Terteryan music school in Yerevan and played in many state folk ensembles.

He leads an ensemble of duduk players made up of his students at the duduk school in Moscow. In 2017, together with Honoured Artist of Russia Valery Syomin, he took part in the 4th Moscow International Duduk Festival at the State Kremlin Palace, and in 2018 in the 5th festival at the Planetarium.

Armen is always ready for bold experiments: he shot a video and recorded a cover of the soundtrack to 'Pirates of the Caribbean', a cover for 'Game of Thrones', and his own version of Indila's song 'Dernière Danse'.
