One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music, Tigran Hamasyan brings a powerful, genre-defying sound that fuses jazz improvisation, progressive rock, and the deep-rooted folk traditions of his native Armenia. A piano virtuoso with unmistakable rhythmic drive, Hamasyan creates music that is both technically astonishing and emotionally resonant.
Performing songs from his newest release, Manifeste, an expansive and uncompromising body of work exploring Armenian spiritual traditions through intricate rhythms, choral textures, electronics, and his signature pianism. Moving between explosive intensity and quiet introspection, the album is both deeply personal and universally affecting.
With a devoted global following and praise from artists including Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau and Chick Corea, Tigran Hamasyan stands at the forefront of contemporary music – an artist redefining what jazz can be.
Presented at the Octagon Theatre, this performance offers a rare opportunity to experience Hamasyan’s music - fully immersive and connected.
