Anahid Ajemian, Violinist and New-Music Champion, Dies at 92
Anahid Marguerite Ajemian (January 26, 1924, New York - June 13, 2016, New York) was an American violinist of Armenian extraction. Ajemian's career in contemporary music got its impetus from the desire to help young composers of her generation have their compositions performed. Additionally, she enjoyed performing the music of established contemporary performers. She included these composers with the traditional repertoire.
