Musaner July 25, 2009

Innovative arraingements of folk music from Armenia and the Balkans. A uniquely evocative musical project directed by composer & pianist Ara Sarkissian, Musaner's music includes original compositions as well as arrangements of folk music. Drawing on influences ranging from American jazz to European post-modernist composers, Musaner deftly explores exciting new rhythmic and harmonic territory while remaining true to the original folk melodies.
