The day after his London Jazz Festival show at London's Southbank Centre. On the 18th November Ara will perform with the Ara Dinkjian Quartet, the Armenian Institute is delighted to welcome the great instrumentalist and composer. Dinkjian will share his thoughts on his approach to music, composition and performance and the influences on his very distinctive style, with illustration on the instrument with which he is most associated - the Oud. Ara Dinkjian has worked with a vast number of performers from many countries and his compositions have been sung in 13 languages including at the closing Ceremony of the Athens Olympics. 

This will be a unique chance to meet Ara Dinkjian in an informal setting, to be able to get closer to the work of an influential musician of Armenian heritage. 

We expect this special event to be well-attended and seating will be on first-come-first-served basis.

Wine, refreshments and nibbles to follow.
