Does anyone know where I can find information about Djivan Gasparyan's schedule of live appearances? His music inspired me to learn to play the duduk myself and I would like to see him before he retires. I have searched the web for months trying to find this information but never find out about his concerts until afterwards. I live in the northwest US, but would be willing to travel.

One of my favorites is Djivan Gasparyan's CD "Moon Shines at Night". Even the songs with happy titles, like "Lovely Spring", are sad. And "7th December 1988" brings tears to my eyes. The songs are very simple - only duduk and damkash, with occasional male vocals. The power of these songs comes not from fancy technique or intricate arrangments, but from deep emotions that seem to come straight from the soul. One of Djivan Gasparyan's finest.
