Ara Dinkjian: Offering | Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony (Live)

Описание: Ara Dinkjian’s evocative composition Offering is performed live by the Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony at the Greenwich Arts Council in Greenwich, Connecticut, on April 8, 2024.

Blending Armenian musical tradition with contemporary chamber textures, Offering is a deeply expressive work that highlights the haunting voice of the duduk and the warmth of the oud alongside strings. Performed before a live audience, this concert captures the intimate and meditative power of Dinkjian’s music in a resonant acoustic space.

Ara Dinkjian’s Offering was written for his dying maternal grandmother, Armenouhie Mallanian Maksian, a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. The piece’s two themes represent a dialogue between grandmother and grandson, in which he asks her, “What is life?” She replies, “Life is love.”
