On June 16 at 7:30 PM, the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia will present the exceptional “Jazzical Komitas” concert project at the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall, blending the depth of Armenian sacred and national music with the free expressiveness of jazz innovation.

Artistic Director & Principal Conductor: Vag Papian․ 

Soloist: New York-based pianist and composer Joel Martin.

The concert will be conducted by British-Armenian conductor and tenor Sipan Olah.

For the first time, Yerevan audiences will have the opportunity to experience live performances of Joel Martin’s “Jazzical Komitas” arrangements, presented together with the State Chamber Orchestra of Armenia.

The National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia presents an exceptional international project — “Jazzical Komitas”, a bold reimagining of Komitas’ musical legacy through the lens of jazz and contemporary classical expression.

Internationally acclaimed pianist and composer Joel Martin (New York) is known for his electrifying synthesis of classical virtuosity and jazz improvisation. His artistic collaborations span global icons such as Alan Menken, Fergie, Stevie Wonder, and opera legend Kathleen Battle. With a performance style that is both technically refined and emotionally expansive, Martin brings a distinctive voice to the modern piano stage.

Although not Armenian by heritage, Joel Martin’s connection to Komitas’ music spans over six years of deep artistic engagement. He describes himself as an “Armenian by choice,” having moved audiences across Yerevan, Los Angeles, and New York with his emotionally charged interpretations of Komitas’ works. His ongoing project has already produced two albums, with a third scheduled for release, as part of a creative journey aiming toward a Grammy nomination.

Joining him is British-Armenian conductor and tenor Sipan Olah (London), whose collaboration with Martin adds a distinctive transnational dimension to the project.

This concert is part of the “Jazzical Komitas” world tour (2026–2028), which will span 20 international cities. The first collaboration between Joel Martin, Sipan Olah, and the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia took place in New York on October 4, 2025, followed by upcoming performances in Yerevan and London.

Entry for children under 6 years old is prohibited.

Time: 19:00.
