🇬🇧Tigran Hamasyan is an Armenian pianist and composer widely regarded as one of the most distinctive jazz artists of his generation. His unique sound seamlessly fuses jazz improvisation and progressive rock with the rich folkloric music of his native Armenia, unconventional time signatures, and a constant interplay between acoustic and electronic expression. A winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition (2006), he has earned praise from piano legends including Herbie Hancock and the late Chick Corea. NPR described his music as combining "jazz, minimalist, electronic, folk and songwriterly elements… heavy grooves, ethereal voices, pristine piano playing and ancient melodies. You'll hear nothing else like this."
This spring, he returns to Belgrade for the first time in nearly 15 years, his last visit being the 27th Belgrade Jazz Festival. This time around, he's stepping into Kolarčeva Zadužbina not as a solo act, but with a full band in tow.

Tigran Hamasyan je jermenski pijanista i kompozitor, poznat kao jedan od najunikatnijih džez umetnika svoje generacije. Njegov jedinstveni zvuk spaja džez improvizaciju i progresivni rok sa muzikom rodne Jermenije, neobičnim taktovima i preplitanjem akustičnog i elektronskog motiva. Dobitnik je prestižne nagrade Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition 2006. godine, a pohvale su mu uputili legende poput Herbie Hancocka i pokojnog Chick Coree. NPR je opisao njegovu muziku kao spoj „džeza, minimalizma, elektronike, folka i kantautorskih elemenata… agresivnih ritmova, besprekornog sviranja klavira i drevnih melodija. Nećete čuti ništa slično."
Ovog proleća Tigran se vraća u Beograd nakon skoro 15 godina, kada je bio gost 27. Beogradskog džez festivala. Ovog puta, umesto solistički, u Kolarčevu Zadužbinu dolazi sa četvoročlanim bendom.
