The Aznavoorian Sisters launched their musical careers with a debut performance at ages four and eight at their Armenian church in Evanston, Illinois. Today, pianist Marta and cellist Ani are both award-winning, internationally acclaimed instrumentalists and recording artists. Ani is the longtime principal cellist of Camerata Pacifica and proudly performs on a cello made by their father, the luthier Peter Aznavoorian. Marta is a founding member of the GRAMMY-nominated Lincoln Trio, and is a Steinway Artist. Happily, they still perform as a duo, and they will be Kerry Frumkin’s guests on this edition of Live From WFMT.
