Tigran Tatevosyan

Tigran Tatevosyan was born in a small town in Armenia, a country with a rich cultural tradition. He was introduced to the world of music at the age of six, when he started eight years of classical piano training at a Secondary Special Music School in Yerevan. From an early age on, he simultaneously developed a strong interest in improvised music. After completing his bachelor's degree, he decided to make Jazz his artistic path, which for him meant leaving his home country in search for new opportunities. The rich harmonic, rhythmic and melodic language of the folk music of his homeland always attracted Tigran, and over time, this inspiration in combination with his studies in western music began to shape his unique composing and performing style. He moved to Hamburg in 2020, where he was accepted in Dr. Langner Jazz Master program at HfMT Hamburg and had a chance to learn from such masters as Vladyslav Sendecki and Florian Weber. He shared the stage with Bob Moses, Nils Landgren, China Moses and others. In 2022, he recorded his debut album “Mer Tan Itev” with drummer Ziv Ravitz and bassist Giorgi Kiknadze at Fattoria Musica Studio (Osnabrück). The program features Tigran’s original compositions inspired by Armenian folk music and modern jazz, as well as arrangements of Armenian folk songs, and besides the Trio format includes solo performances as well. This album is slated for release on the o-tone music label on June 28, 2024.
