Author Information

Georgy Minasyan (Minasov) (born July 18, 1933) is a Armenian duduk master, inventor, teacher, music educator, and founder of Dudukner Ensemble in Yerevan, Armenia. He graduated from Baku Musical College where he performed with Follk Instruments Orchesta of Azerbaijan State Radio and Television as a solo performer. In 1983 he moved to Yerevan Armenia and joined the Gussan and Folk Music Ensemble. Georgy Minasov currently teaches duduk at the R. Melikyan Music College in Yerevan and performs locally and internationally throughout the world. In 1998 Georgy Minasov founded The Dudukner Ensemble that has been performing internationally for almost two decades. They have performed and scored music in award winning films, including the 2004 documentary entitled, 'Eternal Hour' (a film about Narekatzy), the 2005 Kiev International Film Festival First prize winner, 'In the Open Air', and won first place during the 'Golden Apricot' film festival in Yerevan, Armenia. In addition to numerous scoring for international films, they gained high praise for the film, Long Way Home' featuring Isabel Bayrakdarian for their outstanding arrangements of three folk songs by Komitas. Besides being a masterful performer, Georgy Minasyan is also an experienced teacher, an inventor and a tireless investigator of the instrument. His patented modifications include adding a system of metal levers to traditional duduk to essentially increase instrument's range and significantly enlarge its repertoire beyond traditional folk tunes. His Armenian Duduk Method is a result of many years in the performing and teaching experiences of Georgy Minasov, in whose artistic laboratory because of his inquisitive mind he never stops, not even for one minute.
