Testimonials

"Dan, your evocative, dramatic and emotional music deeply touches me. Not only due to its sheer beauty, but because it shines a light on one of history’s greatest atrocities.
Congratulations on composing An Armenian Trilogy. It’s a remarkable achievement!"

"We go back a long way as friends and colleagues. ‘An Armenian Trilogy’ is sure to affect us all with the heart and soul you’ve always put into your work. Proud of you for creating something that will inspire us… as you’ve done throughout your terrific career. Very best on this great project."

Bruce Milller

Composer - Frasier, Becker, Designing Women, Wings, The Odd Couple

"Like Dvorak, who passionately longed for his homeland with his New World Symphony, Mr. Yessian longed for his land of origin in his own unique fashion. His Armenian Trilogy is a hybrid of the tonality of his beloved Armenia, mixed ever so gently with the harmonies of his America.

THE COMPOSER

Back in 2014, the priest at Yessian’s church — St. John’s Armenian Church in Southfield — asked him to write a piece of music to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Between 1915 and 1923, more than 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the armies of the Ottoman Empire. “Armenia has called out to me all my life and writing An Armenian Trilogy has allowed me to explore my roots through music. While my early musical years were spent writing jingles, this is my musical legacy,” he explained.

THE CONDUCTOR

Debuting in 2000, Maestro Eduard Topchjan was quickly appointed Artistic Director and Conductor of the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra. He has led the APO across the globe, performing works such as Aida and Madama Butterfly. He has also appeared with orchestras in Europe, including the Frankfurt Opera, The National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia, as well as the Pasadena Symphony. His repertoire spans all genres from baroque to contemporary music.
