Young string quartet with Armenia in their blood

Akhtamar take their name from an Armenian legend. It is therefore no coincidence that the leitmotiv in their concerts is the music of Armenian priest-composer Komitas. Just like Eugénie Alecian, Komitas wove Armenian folk music into his miniatures. These two are set against an iconic string quartet by the great master Beethoven.
