Petrosyan studied clarinet (with Robert Riganyan) and composition (with Stepan Rostuni) at the Vanadzor Music School from 1982-87 and then composition with Edvard Mirzoyan and orchestral studies with Martun Israyelyan, Stepan Rostomyan and Avet Terterian at the Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory from 1990-95. His post-graduate studies were also at the Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory, where he studied again with Mirzoyan and Rostomyan from 1995-97 and earned a Diploma of Excellence.
He is the recipient of Second Prize at the Komitas International Competition of Folk and Spiritual Music (1994) and the Grand Prize at the Vienna International Composition Competition (1998, organized by Claudio Abbado). In addition, he was a finalist for the Alexander Zemlinsky Prize (USA, 1999) and served a residency in Herrenhaus-Edenkoben (1998-99, organized by Konrad and Barbara Stahls, with the jury consisting of Peter Eötvös). His work Narek (Symphony-Cantata No. 1) was an immense success when it was performed at the Wien Modern Festival in 2000 (as conducted by Ernst Theis).
Since 1993, he has been music editor at the Department of Sharakan at the Gandzasar Theological Center in Yerevan. He is also an accomplished poet, having received numerous awards in both Armenia and abroad (including the USA).
