Armine Abrahamyan - Viola
Biography
Biography '' ...Dr. Abrahamyan’s huge classical repertoire includes expressionist pieces by Paul Hindemith, modernist pieces by Debussy and Ravel, the groundbreaking work of Gabriel Fauré, J. S. Bach,
Saint Saëns, Mozart, Bartók and - well, all the greats.
But what makes her repertoire glisten like precious jewels are her own compositions.
The reason Armine is so beautiful is because the music inside her is too dazzling to be contained.
Hear for yourself. .........
Young, talented, beautiful, and filled with creative magic....''
