Dear friends:

His MVF Band in Armenia draws on polyphonic roots, global rhythms, jazz’s tight grooves, and improvisational play, and includes bass, keyboards, percussion and other traditional Armenian wind instruments, sax or clarinet.

The MVF Boston Band features the following musicians:

Miqayel Voskanyan – Tar and singing

Maxim Lubarsky – piano/keyboards

Shahan Nercessian – bass

Martin Haroutunian – folk instruments formerly in MusAner

Alek Surenian – percussionist with Armadi Tsayn
