Note

Lazie Indie Magazine has always been committed to showcasing music from every corner of

the world, embracing all genres, geographies, and cultures without barriers. Whether it’s

classical music, heavy metal, or hip-hop, we believe in highlighting artists who are shaping

and redefining their genres. In this issue, we focus on classical musicians who have

significantly contributed to transforming the genre into something more accessible and

relevant to modern audiences.

Classical music today is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Artists like Marianna

Gevorgyan, Kathleen Supové, David Fogel, Stanley Grill, Sofia Agranovich, and Yulia Petrova

are at the forefront of this evolution, blending tradition with innovation to create fresh and

exciting works that resonate with contemporary listeners.

Marianna Gevorgyan, the much-acclaimed Armenian

qanunist, has redefined the role of her instrument in

the classical world. Traditionally rooted in Middle

Eastern music, the qanun is not often heard in Western

classical contexts. However, Gevorgyan has expanded

the instrument’s reach, integrating it into chamber

music and collaborating with international maestros,

including Indian classical musicians. Her versatility

extends into jazz and contemporary music as well,

earning her widespread acclaim and numerous awards.

Her journey doesn’t stop there—Gevorgyan has

recently ventured into mastering the Japanese Koto,

further illustrating her commitment to exploring and

blending diverse musical traditions.
