Ani and Marta began performing together at ages four and eight at their Armenian church in Evanston, Illinois, and went on to win First Prize in the Illinois Bell Young Performers Competition, leading to a PBS-broadcast appearance with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. They have since performed internationally, including in Armenia’s Khachaturian and Komitas Halls and at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. Recent highlights include a residency with the Seattle Chamber Music Society and appearances at the Ravinia Festival. This season they tour the U.S., with performances nationwide and a featured summer recital at Festival Mozaic.

The Music in Color program fosters meaningful engagement with the Museum’s exhibitions through live performance, educational elements, and cross-cultural collaboration, inviting audiences to experience the rich tapestry of Armenian music and art. Now in its second year and generously supported by Nancy Kolligian, the series brings intimate performances to the Museum’s Adele and Haig Der Manuelian Galleries while deepening public connection to Armenian culture through music.
