Of voice and pen: How Gayane Tadevosyan unites a cappella and literature

Artist, composer and writer Gayane Tadevosyan brings a unique synthesis to the Armenian cultural scene. Her art is rooted in the depth of literary narratives and the pure sound of the human voice. In our conversation, Tadevosyan reveals how her two creative paths — writing and music — are inseparably linked, nourished by her personal drive.

Although she co-authored a book at 19, Tadevosyan said that music had always been at the center of her inner world. For her, music is not a choice, but a vital necessity. “Music and I are synonyms,” she told the Weekly. “It has never been that I am cut off from it. For me, it is the motivation to live, to create and to move forward.”
