The "AVETIS" String Quartet is a newly formed ensemble based in Armenia. Comprised of four passionate musicians with extensive experience in chamber music, three members, the second violinist Karmen Tosunyan, the violist Hayk Ter-Hovhannisyan and the cellist Mikayel Navasardyan also hold leading positions within the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra. First violinist Anush Nikogosyan brings a rich concert history both as a soloist and chamber musician.In 2023, after years of collaboration, the musicians officially established the quartet, choosing the name "Avetis," meaning "good news" in Armenian. The quartet’s primary mission is to showcase the string quartet repertoire in Armenia and to promote the works of Armenian composers globally. Additionally, they present contemporary repertoire and actively engage with younger generations to foster an appreciation for classical music. Through regular visits to schools and various regions in Armenia, they are determined to spread the joy and importance of classical music education and performance. From May 29 to June 2, 2024, “Avetis” String Quartet made its first tour to Italy and participated in prestigious “Primavera” Festival of "Academia Musicale Chigiana” in Siena and in the annual “Trame Sonore” Festival in Mantua, receiving new proposals for further collaboration, among them the upcoming concert in March 2025, at Pavarotti Theater in Modena.
