Djivan Gasparyan (Armenian: Ջիվան Գասպարյան ; born 1928 in Solag, Armenia) is an Armenian musician and composer. He plays the duduk, an Armenian double reed woodwind instrument related to the orchestral oboe.

He has won four world-wide gold Medal UNESCO competitions (1959, 1962, 1973, and 1980). In 1973, he became the first musician to receive the honorary title of People’s Artist of Armenia. In 2002, Gasparyan received the WOMEX (World Music Expo) lifetime achievement award.

Gasparyan has toured the world several times with a small ensemble playing Armenian folk music. He has collaborated with many artists, such as Hossein Alizadeh, Sting, Erkan Oğur, Michael Brook, Peter Gabriel, Brian May, Lionel Richie, Derek Sherinian, Ludovico Einaudi, Boris Grebentshikov, and Hans Zimmer.

If he played the duduk for me....I would follow him anywhere he wanted me to go....even off of a cliff into the ocean. I cannot wait to hear more of his music!
