Master Theraminist, renowned gender illusionist, original club kid, child model and soon to be film star, Armen Ra has been captivating audiences with his performances for decades.  His harrowing story of survival is one that resonates deeply in those who have had the chance to see/hear him perform his haunting renditions of both traditional Armenian folk songs & Persian laments as well as operatic arias and pop covers alike.  

Tune in to hear Armen Ra discuss the interconnection between his music and identity; his past and future, discussing the completion and upcoming release of his autobiographical documentary film "When My Sorrow Died: The Legend of Armen Ra and the Theramin", scheduled for release in 2014.

Dido's Lament

At  the inception of the Sacred Meditation, certain pieces from the Divine Liturgy of Armenian music were immediately channeled.  “Kristosi Metch” and “Der Voghormia” by composer and ethnomusicology pioneer Komitas.  “Sourp Sourp” by composer Makar Yekmalian. From these Divine vibrations, variations and harmonies emerged and guided me through this process.



I would like to dedicate this piece to my Grandmother Arax Petrosian Makarian, Mother Ruzanna Makarian Hovanesian, Father George Hovanesian, Great Aunt Satin Petrosian Assyrian,Uncle Alec Balasanian, Aunt Shaké Makarian Vartanian for their unconditional love, nurturing and unwavering support. 



Special thanks to Chandra Berk and Tom Negovan for your tireless work and support, I could not have done it without you.

And thank you to the supporters of this Kickstarter project, without whom this work would not have been completed and released into the Universe. My Eternal Gratitude to you all.
