The Armenian Music Ensemble, under the directorship of ethnomusicologist Armen Adamian, focuses on the study and performance of Armenian traditional musical styles and repertoires. The ensemble is supported by the Armenian Music Program’s mentor-student fellowship program. Each academic year, a group of UCLA students and alumni are provided with the opportunity of working with distinguished musicians from the local Armenian community. Past and present mentors include Hasmik Harutyunyan for voice, Vardan Baghdasaryan for kamancha, Antranig Kzirian for oud, Emmanuel Hovannisyan, for duduk, and Armen Adamian for duduk and shvi.
