André Manoukian

André Manoukian’s concert, scheduled for 7 December 2025 at Interference, has been postponed to Wednesday, 14 October 2026.

On 14 October 2026 at Interference Balma, André Manoukian will present La Sultane, a new chapter in his dialogue with Armenian music. True to this source that runs through his work, he blends Eastern scales and modal jazz, making the piano a notebook of memories and journeys. On stage, his compositions travel between East and West, carried by the phrasing of Mosin Kawa’s tablas, the timbral richness of Guillaume Latil’s cello and the grounding of the double bass. La Sultane takes its title from an intimate nickname his mother used for his sister, and evokes an attachment to an affectionate language as much as to a musical heritage. Between timbres, modes and pulses, the quartet unfolds winding paths—arabesques that settle without haste—like shared reminiscences. An occasion to discover how these Armenian motifs weave into jazz and redraw the map of its harmonies.
