Acclaim
“powerful, impassioned pianism displayed”
“Kariné Poghosyan is one of those virtuoso spectacular pianists with extraordinary stamina and musical skills as well as jaw-dropping performances. It’s a musical reverie to attend Ms. Poghosyan’s performances.”
Kariné Poghosyan has been described as an “extraordinary” and “larger than life” pianist, whose playing “goes to the heart of the music.” She began her music studies in her native Yerevan, Armenia, studying at the Romanos Melikian Music College and Komitas State Conservatory. During these years, she was active in performances, with appearances on Armenian National Television, and in competitions. She made her orchestral debut at the age of fourteen with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1, and received second prize at the Arno Babajanian Second State Piano Competition, where she was also awarded a special prize for the Best Concert Etude.
On June 10, 2025 she performs a recital of music exclusively by Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian at Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall.
