Musician Tigran Hamasyan’s highly-anticipated new album, ‘The Bird of a Thousand Voices,” is set to release on August 30. A renowned jazz pianist and composer, Hamasyan often combines improvisation with the rich traditional music of Armenia.

“The Bird of a Thousand Voices” is a special album inspired by an ancient Armenian legend, “Hazaran Blbul”– a tale passed down through centuries and across cultural boundaries. Hamasyan aims to preserve Armenia’s cultural history through the new album.

Hamasyan’s forthcoming body of music will be presented as a unique transmedia music theater piece with the same title as the album. The project is inspired by the “Hazaran Blbul” folktale, which is about the search for world harmony through self-discovery, sacrifice and rebirth, now spectacularly coming to life in an intriguing immersive light show with shadow play, digitally programmed voices and live music.

The world premiere of “The Bird of a Thousand Voices” transmedia project took place at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam on June 8. The work is a collaborative effort between director Ruben Van Leer, scenographer Boris Acket, singer-performer Areni Agbabian and more affiliated international artists.
