Duduki kontsert ''Mägede kaja''

Duduk Concert “Whisper of the Mountains” – Back in Estonia

Experience a unique musical journey into the soul of Armenia at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. This special concert is a chance to step away from the noise of everyday life and find peace through deep, meditative music.

What is the duduk?
The duduk is a traditional Armenian woodwind instrument made from apricot wood, with a history of more than 2,000 years. UNESCO recognises it as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Its human-like tone conveys profound emotions: longing, hope and inner peace.

Performers
At the heart of the evening is internationally acclaimed duduk player Tigran Tumanyan, joined by outstanding musicians in a unique musical dialogue:

• Jelena Jesajana – vocals
• Rihards Libietis – guitar and composition
• Sigvards Dizais – percussion
• Tomas Anchs – cello
• Olga Buchinska – violin

“For me, the sound of the duduk is like a prayer that takes you deep into memories and inner experiences.”
– Tigran Tumanyan

The acoustics of the Academy’s concert hall and the haunting sound of the duduk create an atmosphere where time seems to stand still. This concert is for those who seek honesty, depth and emotional resonance in music.
