Vahagn Hayrapetyan Jazz Trio feat. Hayk Petrosyan

With “Homage to Yerevan – A Declaration of Love,” the Kesselhaus invites you on a special musical journey to the Armenian capital. The concert is a poetic approach to Yerevan – a city full of history, melancholy, humor, and musical depth, which many also know from the legendary “Radio Yerevan jokes.”


Founded in 782 BC by King Argishti I as the Urartian fortress city of Erebuni, Yerevan is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. This historical fact is documented – without any Radio Yerevan irony – by preserved cuneiform records. Those who want to delve deeper should visit Armenia; those looking for a taste of it are in the right place at the Kesselhaus this evening.

The focus is on the music of important Armenian composers such as Aram Khachaturian, Arno Babajanyan, Konstantin Orbelian, and others. Their lyrical and melodic works, reinterpreted in jazz style, reflect the soul of Yerevan. Characteristic of Armenian jazz is the combination of oriental rhythms, deeply felt lyricism, and striking melodies.
