"What really distinguishes his playing is its effect on the listener. There is an immediate connection between his cello playing and those lucky enough to be in the audience. It’s that personal connection, that passion and musical charisma, that not only wins competitions, but people’s hearts as well.”

"Seasoned Phenom"

—The Washington Post

Since winning First Prize and Gold Medal at the XIV International Tchaikovsky Competition at just 22, cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan has established himself as one of the world’s most captivating and sought-after musicians. Described as “dazzlingly brilliant” (The Strad) and “nothing short of magnificent” (San Francisco Chronicle), his debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic led the LA Times to declare, “His command of the instrument is extraordinary.”

Hakhnazaryan is an Honored Artist of Armenia and a recipient of the Movses Khorenatsi medal for “outstanding achievements in the field of culture”.

“I have been ‘Strings Wonderer’ for many years, jumping from one combination of strings to another, trying different brands in search for the perfect fit for me. But when I discovered the Larsen Strings universe for the first time I knew right away that the competition was over. Since that moment I have been playing exclusively on Larsen Strings. For me as a musician who constantly performs around the world they are the perfect combination of beauty, power and reliability.”
