Komitas (1869–1935), the revered Armenian priest, composer, and ethnomusicologist, is often hailed as the father of modern Armenian music for his extraordinary role in collecting, preserving, and elevating centuries-old folk and liturgical traditions. His sacred compositions—deeply rooted in Armenian chant—brought unparalleled clarity, purity, and a distinctly national character to church music, bridging ancient spirituality with modern artistic expression. For our Church, his legacy holds profound significance: Komitas not only safeguarded Armenia’s sacred melodies from oblivion but also revealed their universal depth and spiritual resonance. His works remain a timeless source of inspiration and a cornerstone of both Armenian and world sacred music.Join us for an evening of his divine music, performed by a talented group of our local musicians and singers, as we celebrate the enduring beauty and spiritual power of Komitas’s legacy.
