“Hakobyan’s precocious enthusiasm for making and writing music is infectious.” -New York Concert Review

“..wonderful, sweeping, honest bravura performance..” “There are a lot of “bangers” on stage today posing as virtuosos. It is a distinct pleasure to count Karen Hakobyan as among the pianists whose virtuosity is at the service of the music." -Pinault International Society Concert Review
