"I try to express myself about many issues not a political analyst, but rather as an artist. If we lose the light of art, the darkness will drive us crazy" ...A.Meschian Read... Listen... See... Apostles Discography Interviews Armenian Rock Music
News! Arthur Meschian is back on the road with a concert in Los Angeles. The show entitled "Meschian and Friends" took place on Feb 21, 03 in LA and featured Vahan Artsruni and Lilit Pipoyan.

This site is dedicated to Arthur Meschian, one of the greatest Armenian musicians, artists and poets. Most of us still hold the memories of those sporadic live records of Meschian and "Apostles" in 60's and 70's with lots of background echoes. Starting off as three students at Yerevan Politechnic Institute, "Apostles" quickly raised to become the voice of the generation with their unprecedented amalgamation of Armenian folk classics and modern. Those were the 60's, time of stagnation and Soviet censure. The voice of "Apostles" like many around was heavily muffled and even banned. By the end of 80's "the iron curtain" fell and the underground movement came out of the basements. "Apostles" did not play together anymore, but Meschian was still performing in the US where he moved with his family. Next was a letter from my family in 1995, who managed to establish a good friendship with Meschian in Yerevan during one of his visits. "We've met Arthur only a week ago, but seems like we've known him for ages. He definitely is out of this world", the letter said. I guess there are people, who can not only live happily, but spread happiness all around. This is also some kind of an art to me, no less important than song-writing. This is dedicated to Meschian the artist,the poet, and most importantly, Meschian the person.
