Armenian music uses a different sound than our western music. Different harmonies and pitches give it an exotic, Middle Eastern sound. What makes the guitar enjoyable for the performer is what they feel will make it an audience favorite. Brucksch is continually inspired by the infinite variety of timbres and sounds she can draw from the instrument. Playing the instrument has a quality of exploration about it, she said.
Audience members can share the sense of adventure and exploration as they listen to the performance.
