Violinist · Educator · Scholar
Born in Leningrad in 1926, Tsitsikian began violin studies as a child and continued her education in Armenia. She graduated from the Yerevan State Conservatory before pursuing postgraduate training at the Moscow Conservatory.
Her performing career reached audiences in 27 countries. From 1961 she was a soloist of the Armenian Philharmonic, while contemporary Armenian composers held a central place in her repertoire. She frequently helped edit new works and gave their first performances.
Alongside concert work, she taught at the Yerevan Conservatory and published extensively. Her research into bowed instruments, performance history and ancient Armenian music helped establish musical archaeology within Armenian scholarship.
