"...writes with thought-provoking originality."

- JazzTimes


"Since he was 15 years old, Mihran has been writing his own music -mostly instrumentals for piano, but he;s writing more songs with lyrics and is expanding into orchestra composition as well. His music is gentle and contemplative."

-Carolyn Lange, West Central Tribune

​
"And as I surf the net I occasionally come across pianists I really like - and want to share with others. Mihrankalaydjian is such a pianist. His melody, 'When the Evening Fades' is something special. Very 'Wintonesque,' this one has what I call the 'x factor,' that quality you know is there but can't quite put a finger on."  

-Edward Weiss, Piano Musings

"Mihran has created a melody of peaceful, reflective pieces meant to give glory to God. The pieces are beautifully conceived and composed as well as thoughtfully titled. I will listen to this piano many times. I am sure."

- Amanda Klingensteing, Associate Professor of Music and Chicago University

"His soaring compositions are reminiscent of snowstorms and waterfalls. His musical expression is at once powerful and melodic."

- Margaret Herald, Belgium

"Ever stared longingly out the window on a rainy day? No?Well that's just fine because the music of Mihran Kalaydjian does it for you. His fluid, melancholy piano work works as a veritable shower of sprinkled notes and windswept tempos."

- Jon Hans, M C M D, Chicago

"After a long flight from Denver and a long drive from Sea-Tac, your music revitalized me, I heard and saw the Summer Rain, but also lingering sunsets, moon setting over the sea, childhood memories, hidden passages, and much more. Keep creating and playing your music."

- Adam and Lena Khoury

"Expressive music from the heart, great talent for creating sound pictures of beauty and varying emotions and levels of energy, and highly developed technical skill. Plus a warm, gracious and loving stage presence."
