Raffi Garabedian Octet

  • Ibeam Brooklyn 168 7th Street Brooklyn, NY, 11215 United States (map)

Raffi’s newest project is an octet consisting of voice, flute, tenor saxophone, clarinet, trombone, vibraphone, bass and drums. This project is an homage to his father - Raffi adapted the work from his father’s writing as an author and from his grandmother’s writing as a poet and playwright. His father had been writing a memoir about his parents’ lives escaping the Armenian Genocide, immigrating to the United States, and his life growing up as a first generation Armenian-American.
