Arshak’s Music.

Playing the piano since the age of three, I was accepted to the Lucy Moses School of Music. My piano teacher there was Boris Slutzky, who studied with Nadia Reisenberg, who in turn studied with Sergei Rachmaninoff. During my piano studies and after, I performed in numerous recitals: concerts at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, Steinway Hall, Lang Recital Hall, Paul Hall, and many other venues throughout the United States and Canada. I was also very lucky to perform concerts for seniors and service organizations.

I started to compose music at the age of fourteen, studying with Iosif Andriasov, Daniel Thompson (Lucy Moses School of Music), and Shafer Mahoney (Hunter College). My music has been performed in numerous countries throughout the world, including Austria, Russia, United States, and Japan. My chamber works are regularly premiered by the members of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. I am continuing the Moscow Conservatory Composers tradition, stemming from P.I. Tchaikovsky – S.I. Taneev – N.Y. Miaskovsky – E.K. Golubev – I. Andriasov. Below are my music compositions.
