Music
‘'Where the Lilies Bloom in Ruins’ is a collection of songs that live between the intimacy of folk music and something ancient, where are Ara weaves his Armenian roots into his music for the first time.
With stories of home as a cornerstone, he draws you intimately into old worlds, to a place tucked between mountains, to its meadows, its ruins and all of its forgotten stories.
The release was celebrated with a sold-out hometown show on July 3rd, 2025 where Ara and his full ensemble brought the EP to life. Setting the stage for what’s to come.
