TIGRAN – SHADOW THEATER
Tigran Hamasyan piano/vocals, Areni Agbabian vocals, Charles Altura gitaar, Chris Tordini bas, Arthur Hnatek drums
It’s always exciting when a great international star plays the Bimhuis for the first time, as is the case with Armenian-born pianist Tigran Hamasyan. Since the age of 13 he has been enchanting European festival audiences with bright and assured playing. Celebrities such as Brad Mehldau and Herbie Hancock are full of praise. Tigran made his American breakthrough with his solo CD A Fable, ‘a poetic and haunting album’ according to Downbeat which gave it a four-and-a-half-star-review. With his quintet he presents the follow-up Shadow Theater, which is full of adventurous time signatures and Armenian folk influences.
The Bimhuis restaurant
is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via
