Henrik - Solo Violin, Band Leader
Overview
I am a professional violinist. Unlike most Classically trained violinists, I have a very wide range of stylistic experience, including Jazz, World Music, Eastern European, Klezmer, Celtic, etc. I am a contracted member of the Detroit Opera Orchestra, and a founding member of several bands - Dave Sharp Worlds Quartet (world music, influenced by Near Eastern, Middle Eastern, African and Armenian folk traditions, with elements of Jazz), Klezmephonic (Klezmer, Balkan Music), Sharp Jazz Trio, Lucky Blaggards (Celtic), Karapetyan Brothers Violin Duet, Luminare Violin-Piano Duet, Opera String Quartet, etc. I play close to 300 events statewide and nationwide annually.

May 9, 2026Beautiful Music. Exceptional Service
We had the pleasure of having this violinist perform at our wedding ceremony, and he was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. He beautifully played all of our requested songs and also chose additional pieces that fit the atmosphere perfectly.
As the bride, walking in while he was playing created such a beautiful and calming moment — it instantly put my mind at ease and made the ceremony feel even more special. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music and how talented he was.
He was professional, talented, and a joy to work with throughout the entire process. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day and would absolutely hire him again. Highly recommend for any special event!

We had the pleasure of working with Henrik as a guest artist, and he was outstanding in every respect. Not only is he a truly gifted musician, but he was also incredibly collaborative—consistently seeking ways to support both the chorale and accompanist to create the best possible performance. His professionalism, flexibility, and positive spirit made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again without hesitation.

April 10, 2026Top Notch Performances Every Time!
Henrik has been performing at Friendship Village for many years. In the seven years I've known him, he has presented nothing but concert-quality work for our residents. He selects and presents a wonderful variety of music that includes classical, popular, and everything in between, and offers exceptional background information on the music, his instruments, culture and more. Not only is he terrific as a soloist, but he has graced our stage with violin duets, violin/piano duets, violin/vocal duets, jazz ensembles and a World Quartet--all of which bring a richness to the types of performances we can present to our residents that is welcomed and highly appreciated. Personally, Henrik has become a beloved friend to our residents and myself as well, as he is not only very professional, but personable and genuinely kind and gracious as he interacts with everyone. We look forward to multiple performances every year, including his commitment to bringing us a beautiful Christmas Eve concert every year! If you have an opportunity to book Henrik Karapetyan, or attend an event to hear him play, don't miss it!
