About this event

Persian/Armenian Artist Armen Ra is hailed as one of the best thereminists in the world, and the highest paid theremin artist in history. Ra started his musical journey in 2001and has performed all over the US and Europe at venues including MOMA NYC, Lincoln Center, Disney Concert Hall LA, Villa Petriolo Florence, Musé Rodin Paris (for The Dior Haute Couture ball,) the Broad Museum, and countless private events throughout the world.
One of New York's leading aesthetes, Armen Ra is a self-taught master of the theremin - the only instrument created in the 20th Century and held by many professional musicians to be the most difficult instrument to learn. By fusing both the visual and aural aspects of his craft, Armen Ra has developed an art form that is truly his own and is something quite amazing to behold.
Ra has several Theremin albums available on all platforms. An award winning documentary titled “When My Sorrow Died: The Legend of Armen Ra and the Theremin" was released in 2015. The documentary is available on his YouTube page along with Theremin videos and concert footage.

The Untermyer Gardens Conservancy is dedicated to the revitalization of Samuel Untermyer’s once great gardens, now a City municipal park in Yonkers, New York. Working with the City of Yonkers, the Conservancy will showcase exuberant horticulture in the magnificent landscape designed by Welles Bosworth in 1916. An emphasis on the lives of Samuel and Minnie Untermyer will deepen the appeal and meaning of these gardens for all people.
