Born in Syria of Armenian parents Yazdjian emigrated to Greece in the early ‘80s and as a young man, the electric guitar was on his mind rather than the oud. In the resonance of the instrument though, he did discover, the undiscovered lands of his expressive pursuits. In just a few years he established himself as a leading soloist in Greece, a reputation that brought him next to the prominent composers and leading singers. Over the years Haig Yazdjian has collaborated with the most prominent Greek composers and singers as well as with soloists of international stature. Haig Yazdjian has made folk music well known all around the world and he transfers his knowledge and experience to the next generations via Masterclasses in Greece and abroad.
