​

     The Ensemble Assonance was formed in 2017 in Yerevan, Armenia as a unique group primarily aimed at the performance of lesser-known works of contemporary and classical music. The main mission of the ensemble is familiarizing the Armenian audience with the current developments of the international music scene.

​

     The ensemble consists of well-known local performers whose professional experience makes it possible to represent a wide array of musical styles. The collaboration with educational institutions and festivals as well as the promotion of the new music are among the main goals of the ensemble.

​

     The Assonance is a resident ensemble at the international festival "Crossroads" Contemporary music days in Armenia by QuarterTone.
