Movses Pogossian

**Movses Pogossian** is an Armenian-American violinist and educator celebrated for his passionate interpretations of both classical masterworks and contemporary compositions. Known for his technical brilliance and expressive depth, Pogossian has championed modern composers like György Kurtág and Tigran Mansurian (evident in releases like *Kurtág: Kafka Fragments* and *Mansurian: Con anima*), while also breathing fresh life into Bach’s iconic solo violin works. His eclectic discography—spanning *Blooming Sounds* to *Duo Forza*—showcases a fearless versatility, from Spanish and Latin American collaborations to boundary-pushing contemporary projects.

A dedicated educator, Pogossian serves as a professor at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music, nurturing the next generation of musicians. His commitment to new music shines through premieres and partnerships with living composers, while his recordings, like *Stefan Wolpe, Vol. 7*, highlight his knack for unearthing underappreciated gems. Whether performing solo, in duos, or with ensembles, Pogossian’s artistry bridges centuries, cultures, and creative visions with warmth and curiosity.
