Arthur Satyan Acoustic Ensemble

Swing, Latin and modern-jazz rhythms reflects the land where streets and homes switch from Charlie Parker to Joe Zawinul, from Komitas to Wayne Shorter and Arthur Satyan.

Arthur Satyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia in the family of leading Armenian Composers. His father introduced him to jazz and piano at the age of four. Not too long thereafter he won first prize in the Composition Competition between the local music schools, solidifying his decision to turn pro. At 20 he joined the Komitas Armenian National Higher Conservatory of Music (Composition Department) in Yerevan, where luckily, he was studying with Armenia’s greatest musicians: Avet Terteryan (orchestration), Edward Mirzoyan and his uncle Aram Satyan (composition), Robert Atayan (Armenian music analysis), Edward Pashinyan (harmony), etc..and graduated in 1998.
