The mesmerizing style of Persian-Armenian theremin virtuoso, Armen Ra, has garnered the admiration of fans on multiple continents. He is considered one of the finest thereminists in the world today. Intrigued by this strange and one-of-a-kind instrument, Armen Ra began to study the theremin in 2001. His debut performance came later that year when he shared the stage with the orchestral group, Antony & The Johnsons, in New York City. Soon afterward, Arman’s well-attended solo concert at The Gershwin Hotel was covered by CNN. Armen has performed at upscale venues in the United States and Europe including: Musee Rodin, Paris, The United Nations, Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Chateau Marmont, The Broad Museum, CBGBs, The New Museum (NYC), Wiener Konzerthaus Mozartsaal (Vienna), Villa Petraia (Florence, Italy). The REDCAT (Los Angeles), hosted Armen’s performance of his critically-acclaimed multimedia piece, METAL (A Tribute to Maria Callas). His debut solo CD, Plays The Theremin was released on Bowl & Fork Records in the summer of 2010. It showcases many classical Armenian laments and folk songs. Theremin Classique, released in 2015 features European classical Arias.
