The lecture is presented as part of the Experience the South Caucasus Fellowship Program of the American Research Institute of the South Caucasus (ARISC).
The lecture will be focused on the history of ethnomusicological research in Armenia starting from Armenian composer and ethnomusicologist Komitas and his work of collecting and analyzing Armenian folk music, to some of the current ethnomusicological research in Armenia. The presentation seeks to shed light to the evolution of ethnomusicological research in Armenia, while also introducing the audience to a large range of genres and categories of the so called “Armenian music” in their social and cultural contexts.

She has been actively involved in ethnomusicological research, and her academic interests include music, identity, nationalism and ethnic conflicts.
This event is sponsored by the American Research Institute of the South Caucasus (ARISC). Funding for this fellowship is provided by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs through a grant to the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC).
