I was enchanted with Mariam’s singing. She is indeed a visionary…out of tragedy comes the purity of hope, renewal of faith, and the planting of seeds for future generations to propagate – and cherish – a unique and wonderful culture. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Matossian’s songs are so tuneful and rhythmically vibrant that it’s impossible to resist their contagious energy and spirit of exhilaration.
Mariam is a truly gifted singer who sings from her heart and inevitably captures her audience. She is one of those rare artists that is able to demonstrate her professional talents while keeping an intimate rapport with her audience.
Her music feels like an invocation…In The Light is a beautiful, very upbeat album.
Mariam’s music is truly spectacular in terms of both musicianship and recording quality…her arrangements are masterful and her voice deliciously expressive. Her music captures that bittersweet quality that makes music from the Caucasus, and Armenia in particular, so special.
Matossian’s choice of program was a rare fusion of storytelling and vocal artistry that at times sent shivers down your spine…Matossian is a rare, compelling artist who can spellbind any audience.
It was a truly magical evening as Mariam Matossian sang songs of her ancestral homeland of Armenia. It was one of those rare performances when the audience became silent at the first sound of her wonderful voice and remained spellbound until the last note.
