The 2026/27 season sees the release on Alpha Classics of her recording of Elgar’s Cello Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra. She also appears with the Orchestre de chambre de Paris at the Philharmonie de Paris as part of the centenary tribute to Mstislav Rostropovich, alongside further concerto and recital engagements.
She appears as a soloist and chamber musician on many of the world’s leading stages, including Carnegie Hall, the Vienna Musikverein, Berliner Philharmonie, Philharmonie de Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Walt Disney Concert Hall, KKL Luzern, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and the Kennedy Center in Washington.
Her discography for Alpha Classics reflects the breadth of her musical world. Duo-Solo intertwines traditional Armenian music with the classical repertoire in a dialogue between cello and voice; Dear Mademoiselle, with Nathanaël Gouin and Daniel Barenboim, pays tribute to Nadia Boulanger; and Invisibles, recorded with Nathanaël Gouin, brings neglected voices of the French repertoire back into the spotlight. She has also recorded Saint-Saëns’ First Cello Concerto with conductor Nabil Shehata. Her recordings have received widespread international critical acclaim.
Her Armenian roots also inform a deep commitment to memory and cultural transmission. In 2024, President Emmanuel Macron invited her to perform at the Panthéon for the ceremony marking the entry of Resistance fighters Missak and Mélinée Manouchian, where her performance of Grounk (The Crane) became one of the ceremony’s symbolic musical moments.
Alongside her performing career, Siranossian is closely involved in a number of artistic and humanitarian initiatives. She is artistic director of Les Musicades in Romans-sur-Isère, the Adèle Clément Cello Festival in the Drôme and the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Festival in Trouville, and founded Spidak Sevane to support children in Armenia and Lebanon through music. She also created the Montrachet Jazz festival, bringing together leading classical and jazz artists in Burgundy.
Born into a family of musicians, Siranossian studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon before completing her training with Ivan Monighetti in Basel, where she received her Concert Master’s and Soloist Master’s degrees with distinction. She now teaches at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris and at the École Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot.
In 2025, Astrig Siranossian was appointed to the Ordre national du Mérite in recognition of her contribution to France’s cultural influence.
She performs on a 1676 Francesco Ruggieri cello, generously loaned by the Boubo Music Foundation, and a 1756 Gennaro Gagliano cello formerly owned by Sir John Barbirolli.
